Education is seen as central to economic competitiveness, the reduction of poverty and inequality, and environmental sustainability. This book is an invaluable collection of key readings, with particular reference to globalization, for anyone concerned with the study of education at a time of major economic and social change.
It was a very hard read. So many different ways of looking at things, so many hard concepts. The lengthy introduction helped and overall (without agreeing with some of the chapters) it was well worth wading through. But WOW it was hard.
