Summary

"Education is thought to be the route out of poverty, but history disagrees. Cristina Groeger explores the Gilded Age origins of this idea and shows how schooling actually bolstered economic inequality in the twentieth century. If we want a more equitable society, she argues, we should look not just to education, but also to workers and the workplace"--, Provided by publisher
