“Education and Society in Crisis” by John E. Milnes sets out to expose the weaknesses in the modern education platform with emphasis on the way in which it wrongly treats the children it is supposed to be helping. The book describes a looming disaster under the guise of the technological revolution moving into place, ready to totally upset society yet again. The author then provides his recommendations suggesting that all politicians give up self-created roles, turning their minds to the problems they have not seen coming. The book contains a thoughtful, well argued, genesis to public-funded education systems.
