Everyone has heard that "we only use 10% of our brains" is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood. Here we add another myth to the pile: that the brain develops until the age of 25. This groundbreaking new work exposes the institution of Science as unfaithful to its own data, existing in a subverted state subordinate to the political aspirations of the class that controls it. Bronski tears the narrative apart piece by piece, ripping through and debunking every major writing that supports the myth of the teen brain. In addition, he shows that the ideology regarding youth which exists today is totally ahistorical, and that the US education system is massively exploitative and was founded by the ruling classes against the will of the people. The work's culminating thesis is that the class which resides at the top of the education system, the paid brains of the rich, have proliferated wrong ideas about youth in order to strengthen then influence over the minds of young, their pocketbooks, and the pocketbooks of their families. No dogma regarding contemporary youth survives this devastating, piercing work; it is a must-read for anyone who wants to be knowledgeable on youth development and education -- anyone who has not read it is officially behind the times as of this moment.
