Recenzii

One of CHOICE's "Outstanding Academic Titles" of 2011.
"This book offers an insightful analysis of the human capital paradigm into which American educational politics has become increasingly locked. It casts a broad net to cover the range of influences on the educational politics and offers a clear and erudite argument from an expert in the field."—Teachers College Record
