The Dangers Of Market Fundamentalism

Al Gore in the New York Times on environmental issues:

The decisive victory of democratic capitalism over communism in the 1990s led to… a hubristic “bubble” of market fundamentalism that encouraged opponents of regulatory constraints to mount an aggressive effort to shift the internal boundary between the democracy sphere and the market sphere.

That is an observation perhaps even more applicable to the last two decades of education policy.
