Schooling in a Corporate Society: The Political Economy of Education in America
Carnoy
1972, 2nd Ed 1975
Submitter: This gem is a perfectly boring book, though very dated and dry. But the cover! The kid looks like a smug Richie Rich. Or a baby Trump.
From the Better Half: Quotations from Tamara Fraser and Her Friends Nelson, Ed. 1977 Submitter: Who? I had to look up who Tamara Fraser was, and even after that was left wondering why our academic library would need a collection
