5.0 out of 5 starsAnother brilliant, well-written book by Illich!
By A Customer on May 12, 1999
Format: Hardcover
In this book, much like Deschooling Society, Illich attacks the issue from all sides. He consistenly provides an excellent argument with examples, statistics, and well-done research. Though this book is not quite as fast-paced as Deschooling Society, it is equally engaging. Illich not only presents the problems in a realistic way, he also presents alternative methods for dealing with the issues he's attacking. This book is well worth the time it takes to read, and although it was written several years ago, the issues addressed in this book are even more prevalent now. Illich is a wonderful writer and this is an incredible book.

Got this book for my son. He has been wanting it for quite a while. He really likes Medical Nemesis by Ivan Illich. He said the writing was small and hard to read but the book is great.
