Education: An Annotated Bibliography

My research process was a combination of looking at catalogs of books on the subject of free-market education system and a search on Google plus on education Reform. When i looked at different people on the subject of education, I chose those that provided the clearest and most historical background rather than opinions.

All of those that are chosen dwell on the subject that using a free market approach provides an option for an effiecent education system. My main claim that due to the dominate hand of the government in the education system, the culture of our society as devalued education and lacks motivation. With the implementation of a free-market system in education would solve those two issues.
