Education and the Proliferation of New (Old) Concepts: Agrarianism, the Commons, No-Growth Economics, and the Maximum Wage

The ecoeducation article by Paul Theobald and Hibajene Shandomo talks about idea that the way we approach schooling directly affects our economic standing. The idea is that children need to be taught a certain way from an early age so that when they grow up and are in control of what happens they will make the right decisions. The idea of limiting certain things in order to help society as a whole is also discussed. Such as limiting how much money any one person is allow to make or how much they are allow to own. In theory this would allow everyone to have a good life as opposed to certain people being extremely wealthy while others are stuck in poverty. All these ideas are pulled together by the idea that problems could be solved by improving our education system so that the adults of tomorrow will have the knowledge to be able to close the gap between the upper and lower class.
