Description and Table of Contents

Description

The purpose of this book is to help bring equity back into the fore of discourse within educational debates and also to move that debate forward by providing new insights into the nature of equity. It looks at distribution of goods and wealth in Britain and the US and the concern for more efficient production in terms of economic, military and educational systems.
