Vanderburg, Willem H. – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2009
This article attempts to make some sense of what is happening to the role of money and the economy in our lives and in our communities.

Only about 3% of daily…

Arnal, Juliette – Education, Knowledge & Economy: A Journal for Education and Social Enterprise, 2008
Beyond the presupposed cleavage between economics and ethics, the institutional dimension of economic ethics needs to be emphasized.

Coulson, Andrew J. – Cato Institute, 2008
Would large-scale, free-market reforms improve educational outcomes for American children? That question cannot be answered by looking at domestic evidence alone. Though innumerable "school choice" programs have been implemented around the United States, none has created a truly free and competitive education marketplace. Existing…

Xiaohui, Wang – Chinese Education and Society, 2006
The concept of education as a social activity for training people is clear. In the past few years, connections between education and the economy have become increasingly close along with the development of the market economy. This is indeed a good thing, but it has also given rise to some misunderstanding. Some say education possesses the…

McMurtry, John – Canadian Social Studies, 1998
Discusses contemporary, dichotomous views of markets: the global market is "good"; other (more local) markets are bad. Argues that nonglobal markets are viewed as obstacles to the global market that must be removed, despite their roots in local cultures and provision of services not available in the global market.

McMurtry, John – Canadian Social Studies, 1997
Sharply criticizes current free market practices especially in light of the globalization of capitalism. Maintains that a laissez-faire approach to the allocation of resources and consumer choices is no longer relevant in a world defined by an increasing disparity between rich and poor. (MJP)

Matthews, Julie; Sidhu, Ravinder – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2005
This article takes the case of international education and Australian state schools to argue that the economic, political and cultural changes associated with globalisation do not automatically give rise to globally oriented and supra-territorial forms of subjectivity. The tendency of educational institutions such as schools to privilege narrowly…
