No, Education Still Won’t Solve Poverty
No, Education Still Won’t Solve Poverty
"Groeger’s book shows the checkered history of education as an anti-poverty tool. Perhaps most importantly, it helps educators and organizers think about the things that actually do reduce inequality: universal government programs and strong unions."
"Across the political spectrum, schools are seen as the solution to so many social problems, but a focus on schools can be convenient to those with the most economic power, because it shifts the burden of reform onto students, onto teachers, and away from what is the real source of inequality: the lack of power workers have in the economy and in politics."

Plutarch’s Ship of Theseus
"In the episode, they discuss the Mereological Theory of Identity – the view that the identity of an object depends on the identity of its component parts – versus Spatio-Temporal Continuity Theory – the view that an object can change materials and retain a constant identity as long as the change is gradual and the form or shape of the object is preserved through the changes of its component materials."
Professor Marc Cohen featured in Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast
