This book is about public education reform and the future of pubHc
education funding. Given the many articles, books, and conferences
that have focused on the issue of public education reform, it is
reasonable to ask whether the world needs still another volume on
this subject. In my defense, I would argue that, although there is
a large literature on public education reform, there is precious
little that tries to sketch the big picture. Too often, both in
research and in practice, it is easy to lose sight of the forest,
for all the focus on the individual trees. While such detailed
analysis is of critical value, that value derives both from its
specificity and from its ability to fit into a larger, coherent
whole. Unfortunately, our understanding of the public education
process is still incomplete and disconnected, particularly with
regard to the connections between research, policy, and practice.
This book is an attempt to step back for a moment to get one's
bearings before jumping headlong back into the forest. It is my
hope that this book will be of value to a wide variety of reader-
researchers in departments of economics and schools of education,
policy makers at all levels, and, of course, the practitioners
slogging away in the trenches.
