ED BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES

IS EDUCATION CAPABLE OF CHANGING INEQUALITIES IN WEALTH, HEALTH, ETC? OF ADVANCING ECONOMIC GOOD?

IF NOT OR NOT INTERESTED, WHY SEEK PUBLIC SUBSIDY? AND FROM WHOM? UNLESS FOR NTNL SECURITY, FED CAN BUT WON’T. STATES OUGHT TO BUT CAN’T. THEY AS A RULE DO NOT DEFICIT-FINANCE.

IS EDUCATION CAPABLE OF BRIDGING FROM AN ECONOMY OF SERVICE SECTOR JOBS AND EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION TO ONE OF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND PRODUCTION? DOUBLE DEGREES?

GLOBALIZATION UPROOTS MANUFACTURING. HATRED OF GOVERNMENT THINS CIVIL SERVICE. THE LIFETIME JOB IS GONE.
