Extractions: Beacon Press, Boston, 1995, $12.00 GOVERNMENT control of education in the UK is greater now than at any time since the founding of a state system of education in 1870. Government, in the shape of the Department of Education and Employment, controls the supply side through grants made directly to grant- maintained (GM) schools and indirectly via local authorities to the rest; it regulates supply by closing schools where demand is falling and controls the quality of supply by means of a national curriculum, national tests and Ofsted, its militant inspectorial arm. Demand is held constant by enforcing compulsory school attendance to the age of sixteen. It is a monolithic system and it is in crisis. How can we loosen the stranglehold of the state and open up our bureaucratic and inward-looking system to experiment and innovation? James Tooley has some answers in his thought-provoking book Education Without The State. Dr. Tooley is currently Director of the Education and Training Unit at the Institute of Economic Affairs. The I.E.A. is the direct descendant of the Mont Pelerin society founded by Hayek in 1947 to combat socialism and Hayek was the founding father of the economic liberalism of the New Right, the driving force behind Thatcherism. With such a pedigree behind him, it is difficult not to label Tooley's book one of the last gasps of Thatcherism. For what he has to offer is the market solution to our educational problems.
