Crisis and Commonwealth

Crisis and Commonwealth extends the critical theories of Marcuse and Marx to an analysis of the intensifying inequalities symptomatic of our current economic distress. A new foundation for emancipatory practice is proposed—a labor theory of ethics and commonwealth. The collection appeals to the contemporary interests of college students and teachers in several interrelated social science disciplines: sociology social problems economics ethics business ethics labor education history political philosophy multicultural education and critical pedagogy. It concludes with a manifesto for radical educators by Peter McLaren.<br/><BR />
