Hook line: Learn how education can better serve a democratic society by rethinking what we teach and how we teach it.
The book examines how curricula should respond to real social needs and how knowledge diffuses through schools and beyond. It argues that education must connect what students learn with the world they will enter, emphasizing the three core types of knowledge: production, distribution, and consumption. By reexamining subjects for their practical value, the work calls for a more purposeful, evidence-based approach to building citizens who can shape economic democracy.
Drawing on principles of usefulness and equity, the text discusses the limits of traditional teaching and the dangers of loading curricula with untested material. It proposes that teachers, curriculum designers, and diffusion agencies work together to replace irrelevant or costly topics with information that improves daily life and civic participation. The aim is to prepare learners not just to think, but to act wisely within a democratic economy.
Ideal for readers involved in curriculum design, education policy, and civic education seeking a clearer path toward democratic schooling.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the contemporary approach to education is deeply flawed. Recent research has highlighted widespread dissatisfaction with schools, and the author argues that the prevailing curriculum is disconnected from the lives of students and failing to prepare them for contemporary society. The author posits that the key to effective education lies in organizing the curriculum around three fundamental but neglected areas: productional, distributional and consumptional knowledge. Productional knowledge equips individuals to create value in the economy. Distributional knowledge enables them to navigate the complex landscape of wealth distribution and secure their fair share of resources. Consumptional knowledge empowers individuals to make wise choices about how to use their resources to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. By integrating these three types of knowledge into the curriculum, this book offers a transformative vision for education. It argues that such an approach would better prepare students to meet the challenges of the 21st century and create a more just and equitable society for all.
