This book introduces a new perspective on the knowledge economy and
the learning challenge it presents for individuals, communities and
societies. It demonstrates that the debate about the role of
knowledge in the economy has been framed in terms of Cartesian
notions of objective and subjective knowledge and human capital
notions that the aim of learning is to support people to adapt to a
pre-given economic reality. The book argues that these framings
rest on questionable assumptions about knowledge and learning and,
in the process, deflect us from asking questions about our future
economic, political and social direction. Taking ideas from
Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), Social Theory and the
Philosophy of Mind as its starting point, the book rethinks the
relation between knowledge, learning and human activity. It
explores this rethinking through the form of learning -
Professional, Vocational and Workplace - most closely associated
with the use of knowledge for economic, political and social
purposes. The book will be of interest to: (i) social scientists
concerned with debates about the knowledge economy/society; (ii)
educational researchers/policymakers concerned with the relation
between education and knowledge economy; (iii) anyone interested in
CHAT; and (iv) undergraduate, Master and Doctoral students studying
any of the above issues.
