Neoliberalism, Pedagogy and Human Development

Focusing on the impact of flexible short-term work contracts and insufficient social safety nets, this volume analyzes how these economic conditions shape educational paradigms and child development approaches in various regions, including Germany, the US, and Latin America. By incorporating theories from Vygotsky, it also investigates alternative pedagogies, highlighting examples from California and Brazil's landless peasant movement, offering insights into potential solutions for improving child development in challenging economic contexts.
