The new economics of learning

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In The Cost of Not Educating the World's Poor the author observes from her 30 years of traveling in 20 poor countries how the costs of the uneducated poor become costs of global instability, problems of environmental degradation, migration and world hunger and how these can be mitigated by educating the poor. This book shows how powerful global learning systems are rapidly forming and linking the rich world with the world of the poor and developing nations. Using a narrative voice, it introduces new theories and concepts in several fields (economics, development, learning, technology and network) and shows us how new thinking can lead the way to new possibilities.
