Editorial Reviews
Review
I doubt that anyone who reads [School Choice] will ever participate in, or listen to, prosaic debates on school choice in the same way again. What most excited me about this work was its reflection of a broader truth of the American political arena--the sometimes antithetical, yet equally legitimate, value frameworks that inform policy decision-making: liberty versus equality; community versus efficiency, and so on. . . . The ideas at play here illuminate far more than the worth of school vouchers.

Review
Most essay collections about school choice tend to support one position or another. This one is organized as a debate. Alan Wolfe, one of the most thoughtful scholars of American life writing today, has brought together a stellar cast of authors who are all at the forefront of their respective fields. This in itself will make the book of interest to those concerned with the issue.
