Education Gospel

Discover the compelling insights of W. Norton Grubb in "Education Gospel," a thought-provoking exploration into the American belief that increased education is the ultimate solution to social and economic challenges. Co-authored with Marvin Lazerson, this book delves into the seductive yet misleading notion that more schooling for a larger population can resolve our most pressing issues. Grubb and Lazerson critically examine the idea that the primary goal of education is merely to prepare individuals for the workforce. Published by Harvard University Press in 2007, this paperback edition spans 334 pages and is essential reading for anyone interested in educational reform, policy, and economic implications. Engage with a rigorous analysis that challenges conventional wisdom and invites readers to rethink the true purpose of education in society.
