In the midst of increasing attention to the adequacy of school finance systems throughout the United States, To What Ends and By What Means challenges readers to examine the social justice implications of contemporary economics, finance, and budgeting policies affecting the K-12 education system. Contributors representing the fields of philosophy, sociology, economics, psychology, public policy and international studies initiate a dialogue about the broader purposes of educational policy. These explorations offer scholars and students a framework to understand how school finance policies might better support changes needed to improve the educational conditions faced by those traditionally under-represented in economic, political, and social policy arenas.

Industry Reviews

Ernest House, Professor, University of Colorado

"I believe this book could make a significant contribution to the educational finance literature, depending on how the individual chapters are executed. . . . Certainly, from the proposal and the people involved, it seems to me worth a try. It would fill a big hole in the literature."

Luis Huerta, Assistant Professor, Teachers College

"There is certainly a potential niche for this sort of book, mostly because there is no text in school finance that I know of that provides a strong link between social issues and the economic and policy issues that dominate current discussions on school finance policy. The challenge for this book, however, will be to embrace both an audience that examines issues from a social policy perspective and an audience that approaches issues from a more rational economic perspective (the traditionalist in school finance research and policy). This challenge is what makes this book proposal a good candidate that can begin bridging the divide."
