Financial Literacy Education
Chris Arthur · 2012
63/100
👎 Skip It
A rigorous academic monograph that challenges neoliberal financial literacy policy through Marx, Foucault, and Bourdieu — genuinely fills a gap in critical education scholarship. But dense philosophical prose and noted repetitiveness make it inaccessible to anyone outside graduate-level education research. Worth it only if you live inside that niche.
