DESCRIPTION/EVALUATION:
	This is an examination of the relationship of education and 
job training to production, and the government's role in that relationship.  
It is both enlightening and readable.  The authors examine the historic 
basis of the relationship, do a review of previous scholarship, look 
in depth at aspects of the situation in several countries, including 
the U.S. and offer their own "framework for policy analysis."  The fact 
that many countries and many institutions of higher education are 
examining the role that job training should play in education should 
tempt many education professionals to step a bit out of disciplinary 
bounds and give this book a read.
