Question: -
What are the two major ways
of thinking about political economy? Give an example of how each will think
about educational policies.
Answer: -
The
two major ways of thinking about political economy is {Way to understand}
1)
Struggle Between groups: - In this Markets does not give justice {In
Radical political capitalists will dominate society & in another big
farmers will dominate society} in this we have Marxism- only single party rule
(Leninist version of Marxism, Classical-radical-political-economy), Socialism-
Seeking interest of society than individual. Welfare economics is saying that
market will not concern about weaker sections, so state have to intervene.
Marxism
think educational policies as “Reproduction of existing class system through
the schools”.
Socialism
think it as “Education should provide for all its gives development for weaker
sections”.
Welfare
economics think education policies as “State have to intervene completely for
developing weaker section”
2)
Choice making: - {Public Choice Theory} Market is the force &
deciding role. In this market and public choices has to steer the mechanism. In this we have 3 types of liberalisms that
are (Actually the second
approach focuses on choice making within a particular rules context)
Classical/Early
Liberalism: - Opposing the control of kings in Market, Market have
to decide best & state should intervene only in health & education (Classical-liberal-political
Adam Smith)
Classical-liberalism
thinks education policy as to intervene by state then we can oppose the control
of kings.
Socio/Mid
Liberalism: - Market can't give justice, state should support weak
sections
Socio-liberalism
thinks that as “Education can be undertaken by market & state, state have
to give free education to weaker section” (How this is different from 1st
approach?)
Neoliberalism:
- Market can give best services State should intervene must be low. It is the
ideology of market is way to run society {Education & Health also have to
take by market}
This
will think educational policy as “Education have to control by market only then
on the people get best services”
