Schooling and Enterprise Culture: Pause for a Critical Policy Analysis.

Smyth, John

Journal of Education Policy, v14 n4 p435-44 Jul-Aug 1999

Current preoccupations with "enterprise culture" in schooling deflect attention from crucial problems such as deindustrialization and the changing nature of work, creation of meaningful work opportunities, social justice, and moral and social regeneration. Enterprise culture draws upon a social pathology and seeks simple solutions promoting business sector values. (Contains 16 references.) (MLH)
