Abstract

This chapter explores the global phenomenon of mass education and its relationship to the associated policy dimension of mass education for human capital development/formation in the capitalist world-economy. This is done here, and in the following chapter, in the spirit of this 'sense of blasphemy," seeking to better understand and in turn to challenge the dominance of this accepted paradigm.
