- Summary:
- 'Debating Education' puts two leading scholars in conversation with each other on the subject of education - specifically, what role, if any, markets should play in policy reform. The authors focus on the nature, function, and legitimate scope of voluntary exchange as a form of social relation, and how education raises concerns that are not at issue when it comes to trading relationships between consenting adults.
