Review
«Debates about the idea of a learning society have been dominated by rhetoric with little supporting evidence and few attempts to clarify what the concept might mean and how changes in the education system and in the demands for learning might be related to wider changes in society, nationally and globally. Furthermore there has been little attempt to consider how different types of learning society might be emerging that reflect different national histories and cultures. In each of these respects this book breaks new ground.» (Michael F. D. Young, University of London, Institute of Education)
