- The book analyses the various attempts and actions of U. S. private business companies to "invade public education" (with the intention to "improve America's education") and explains the "alarming consequences" of this commercialization. In "explains why hot-button proposals like for-profit public schools run by companies such as the Edison Project and Education Alternatives, Inc.; taxpayer-financed vouchers for private schools; market-driven charter schools; Channel One, an advertising-ridled television program for schools; and the relentless interference of corporations in the school curriculum spell trouble for America's children." The author illustrates this with numerous examples. (DIPF/Umschlagtext/Bi.).
