Synthesizing ideas from such disparate thinkers as educator Maria
Montessori, philosophers John Dewey and Ayn Rand, and Austrian
economist Ludwig von Mises, Montessori, Dewey, and Capitalism
presents a philosophy of education-the theory of concentrated
attention and independent judgment-that requires laissez-faire
capitalism for its full realization. It is not an argument, except
indirectly, for the separation of education and state nor is it a
critique of present and past state-run schooling. It is an argument
for the abolition of coercion in all areas of life. What is the
ideal education system? asks the author. One that rejects the
premise of obedience to authority. Not just in teaching, but also
in parenting and in all social relations. Just as an ideal social
system would allow citizens to pursue their values without
interruption or control from an outside authority, namely the
state, so also the ideal education system should allow children and
students to concentrate without interruption on the learning tasks
that interest them. The adult guides and nurtures the young,
neither coercing nor neglecting them, to develop the confidence and
independence required for an adult life in a capitalist society.
