ABSTRACT
The central theme of this piece is to question and explore the firmly accepted mainstream idea that ‘education, education, education’ is still the best route to prosperity for the individual and an economic driver for society as a whole. As a main contention, another missing context is offered: the money system and its reinforcing layers: private credit creation, debt/interest and elitist ruling structures of big business and politics.
In essence, what drives economies is the money system and its supporting structures. Education, whether correctly configured and delivered or not, is but a ‘leaf in the wind’. To ignore this is to waste time and energy looking for solutions to problems and challenges that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
