About This Book

The author examines how schools and industry shape workers' capacities and motives, arguing that educational systems can either cultivate or suppress creative initiative. Chapters compare American and German models of vocational training, critique German paternalistic efficiency and its schooling practices, and analyze how business and scientific management have narrowed incentives for meaningful production. The book advocates reconnecting education with productive life through experimental school–industry collaborations that preserve individual growth and social purpose, and proposes concrete experiments and organizational ideas for educators to integrate creative development into industrial reconstruction after the war.
