But the fact is that huge, bureaucratic organizations often still shape the character of our jobs, schools, the groceries where we shop, and even the hospitals we entrust with our lives. So how, exactly, can we work small, when everything around us is so big, so global and standardized? In Organizing Locally, Bruce Fuller shows us, taking stock of...

ISBN: 9780807768303 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This authoritative book examines the long-standing campaign that resulted in today's school voucher policies.

But as voucher policies grew in size and became an element of Republican orthodoxy, they evolved into subsidies for a broad swath of advantaged families, with minimal antidiscrimination protections. The approach also transmuted into forms like education savings account programs...
