The "Education Myth": How American Changed It's Relationship With School | Jon Shelton | TMR
Happy Monday! Sam and Emma host Jon Shelton, professor at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay, to discuss his recent book The Education Myth: How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy.
"The Education Myth" challenges the prevailing notion that education is the primary avenue to economic opportunity in America. Author Jon Shelton explores the historical shift in the perception of education's role in society, revealing that its connection to economic well-being was not always inevitable. While early public education aimed to foster democratic participation, the mid-20th century saw the rise of the education myth, stifling social democratic alternatives and sidelining notions of economic security and social dignity for all. Shelton tracks the transformation from the 1960s onward, as both Democrats and Republicans, including figures like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, perpetuated this myth, leading to an unequal economy and a deeply divided political landscape over the past four decades.
