Description

Debating Education: A Market-Driven Approach to Policy Reform? This book presents two contrasting views on the role of markets in education policy reform. David Schmidtz argues that educational opportunities do not need to be equal for them to be good, focusing instead on maximizing each student's contribution. In contrast, Harry Brighouse prioritizes the prospects of the bottom 30% of the population, who face significant inequalities. The authors engage in a nuanced discussion about the nature and function of voluntary exchange as a form of social relation, exploring how education raises concerns that are not typically at issue in trading relationships between consenting adults. This thought-provoking book will appeal to scholars and students of ethics, particularly those interested in political philosophy, philosophy of education, and educational policy. By examining the merits of market-driven approaches to education, Debating Education offers a valuable contribution to ongoing debates about the role of markets in public policy.
