About the Book

TELLING IT LIKE IT IS ! HOW TO MAKE A STUPID DIVIDED SOCIETY !! When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is defined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people becomes an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk: culture-death is a clear possibility.A" (N.Postman Amusing Ourselves to DeathA") In pre-industrial capitalist society, important knowledge was directly relevant to the person and the task to be performed. It was holistic, experiential and transmitted informally in an oral tradition. It was also tacit (implied rather than explicit) and internalised. In short, it was owned by - and could be said to be part of - the person. But after two centuries of State education in a context of growing corporate capitalism, important knowledge is no longer directly relevant. It is written, rather than oral, transmitted by rote by specialists , external to the knower, fragmented into theoreticalA" and practicalA" and inert, being merely a commodity for the purpose of passing examinations. Such knowledge is used by the State to preserve a divisive and hierarchical class system, and to serve the needs of a capitalist economy. The means employed for this purpose include a competitive private examination system using objectiveA" subject knowledge of increasing commercial relevance (STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths). The overall result of these procedures is the production of ignorant, passive consumers rather than active knowledgeable citizens, as well as a redefinition of education, serving economic needs rather than the development of the whole person. Find out in this book how and why all this came to pass and discover how various groups and organisations are striving to reverse this apparently irreversible movement from intrinsic to instrumental values.
