Politics, Markets and America's Schools is an insightful and bold book that challenges the traditional structure of America's educational system. The authors suggest that poor academic performance in schools is not due to the schools themselves, but rather the institutions of direct democratic control governing them. They propose a new system of public education that promotes school autonomy through parent-student choice and competition. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in improving America's educational system through innovative and transformative means.
