Abstract
:
"This book provides the theoretical framework necessary for understanding the political economy of education - the complex relationship of education, economic growth, and income distribution - and for formulating effective polices to improve the financing and provision of education. The relatively simple models developed illustrate the use of analytical tools for understanding central policy issues."--BOOK JACKET.
