Schooling and Work in the Democratic State

A new explanation of the relation between schooling and work in the democratic, advanced industrial state emerges from this study that rejects both traditional views and the more recent Marxian perspective. Traditional views consider schools as autonomous institutions that are able to pursue the goals of equality and social mobility irrespective of the inequalities of capitalist society; the Marxian perspective views schools as serving the role of producing wage-labor for capitalistic exploitation.Carnoy, Martin is the author of 'Schooling and Work in the Democratic State' with ISBN 9780804712897 and ISBN 0804712891.
