What I've seen of his work, > including here in SA, hasn't had that kind of sting. I don't know, but Bowles and Gintis have recently re-released the classic Schooling in Capitalist America. That's available through Haymarket <http://www.haymarketbooks.org/pb/Schooling-in-Capitalist-America> along with the mentioned Education and Capitalism <http://www.haymarketbooks.org/pb/Education-and-Capitalism>. As I've accidentally ended up in the "education studies" corner of academia and am still getting my head around Marxist approaches the other day I was about to order both before I saw the hefty shipping price to Australia (this anyway is for possible future reference because in a reflection of Bowles' points as a grant funded researcher I have to follow the line rather than write what I actually think). I might have to lobby Resistance Books here to distribute. By the way great to see Haymarket has a substantial kids and parents section <http://www.haymarketbooks.org/category/kids-parents> ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
