Economy, Work and Education: Critical Connections

addresses effects of neoliberal capitalism in particular regard to work and education. It reveals limits and paradoxes in macroeconomic policy imperatives toward knowledge-based economies and learning societies and elaborates ensuing critical concerns and dilemmas. It concludes with an exploration of innovative conceptions of social citizenship which may stimulate sources of a revitalization of work and education beyond singular economic imperatives.
