Market Approaches To Education
This is a collection of articles/essays by supporters of school choice programs around the world. Most of the articles take a critical look at the "choice" programs in countries where they exist and discuss what separates them from true free education markets. With the exception of the article on Chile's system, there was a widespread lack of school performance data cited, which made the essays somewhat less than impactful. This book provides interesting background information on the education policies in a handful of countries (Sweden, New Zealand, Chile...), but the lasting impression that the book leaves is that America can learn very little from school choice programs in other countries because none of them go nearly far enough. The final article by John Merrifield was the most interesting of the collection.
