Book Reviews of A Primer of Libertarian Education
Book Review: A Well Researched, Fascinating Exploration of the Relationship Between Educational Systems and Social Inequality.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in alternative educational theories and systems. Joel Spring expertly melds a history of modern education practices with critiques from prominent thinkers in the field, while exploring various alternative models from around the world. While it is true that this book does not urge educators to employ the numerous examined theories and practices, it does offer broad exposure to a myraid of fascinating experiments in alternative education. The goal of this book is not to offer new dogmas for educators. Instead, it is offered as a launching pad for those interested in finding new ways to structure our education system and society with the objective of maximizing individual liberty, justice and social harmony.
