Education either functions as an instrument that is used to facilitate the integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes ‘the practice of freedom,’ the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”) and Deschooling Society and The Struggle for the Meaning of Society As Such and “Elite Universities Are Turning Our Kids Into Corporate Stooges”

Johann Hari – Depressed? Anxious? Blame Neoliberalism.
Link to an article by Johann Hari:
“Depressed? Anxious? Blame Neoliberalism.”
I very much question why this writer singles out neoliberalism, specifically, rather than capitalism, generally. There is nothing in the article to suggest that only neoliberalism — but no other forms of liberalism or capitalism — is problematic. While he has established that eliminating neoliberalism is necessary, he has failed to establish that doing so is sufficient.
