In this book, Deschooling Society, Ivan Illich, explains that schools have failed our individual needs, supporting false and misleading notions of progress and development fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption, and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life.
Our universities have become recruiting centers for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race.
Ivan Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.
