This classic work presents a radical educational theory coupled with a progressive economic vision aimed at achieving equity and equality in American schools. It challenges traditional educational practices and advocates for systemic changes to create a more just and inclusive learning environment for all students. The book emphasizes the importance of addressing economic disparities to foster genuine educational opportunities.

Drawing upon recent advances in evolutionary game theory, contract theory, behavioural experiments and modeling of dynamic processes, Bowles develops a theory about the interraction between economic institutions and individual behaviour.

Incorporating the latest results from behavioral economics and microeconomic theory, Samuel Bowles argues that conventional economics has mistakenly presented inequality as the price of progress. In place of this view, he offers a novel and optimistic account of the possibility of a more just economy.
