Thinking for a Living: Education and the Wealth of Nations

According to the Institute of Education Sciences, "This book addresses the issue of the appalling mismatch between what the economy needs and what the educational institutions actually provide. The book provides a blueprint for the radical reconstruction of schools, following many of the same principles that allowed some of the U.S. leading industrial organizations to rescue themselves from the brink of ruin by greatly raising productivity without increasing costs." The work of the West/Southwest IAF is referenced as an example.
