This book is a fresh contribution to the increasingly sterile political and academic discourses on education and society. Using incisive and empirically grounded transformative perspectives as lenses of analysis, the authors succeed in liberating the reader from the dominant and simplistic economic determinism that has, for a long time, concealed the culpability of structural attributes of corporate capitalism in creating the triad of poverty, unemployment and inequality.
