Squandering America's Future

de Susan Ochshorn, David L. Kirp

"Ochshorn offers a pioneering guide to the big isues in contemporary early childhood policy. Written in a lively, personal style, the book drives home the importance of the earliest years for developing human capital-the nation's future. Her "policy tales" highlight the abject failure of the United States to support parents and early educators-the nation's real wealth producers-and will inspire a new generation of leadership."
