Faded Dreams paints a new and challenging picture of how racial inequality has evolved in America. Martin Carnoy shows that three dominant views of economic differences between blacks and whites--that blacks are individually responsible for not taking advantage of market opportunities, that the world economy has changed in ways that puts blacks at a tremendous disadvantage compared to whites, and that pervasive racism is holding blacks down--do not adequately explain why blacks made such large gains in the past and stopped making them in the 1980s and 1990s. Using a systematic analysis of fifty years of data on income, education, and the variety of jobs that both blacks and whites have held, Faded Dreams offers a powerful argument for active government intervention to improve the education and living conditions of disadvantaged black children.

Rabbinic political thinking has a long and comparatively well documented history extending back to the biblical constitution in Deuteronomy. Though rabbinic political theory conventionally remains unrecognized by political scientists, the rise of religiously-based power in Israel demonstrates the effects of such theory when used to guide policy. In providing a rare systematic study of rabbinic political thinking -- as well as a basis for study of how its underlying theory might apply to contemporary political areanas -- The Judaic State proves to be valuable material to scholars of political philosophy, religion and society, and Jewish studies.

Throughout my career, economics of education has been an important interest. My doctoral thesis on the returns to education in Mexico made the first estimates of earnings functions and estimates of rates of return to education corrected for parents’ socioeconomic background. In the mid-1960s, I left research on education to write several books on the Latin American trade and industrialisation, and — as part of that research — to organise joint studies with economists from around the hemisphere.
A study in Kenya for the World Bank returned me to my primary interest, but my Kenya results made me question the human capital approach. The product of this questioning was Educa-
tion as Cultural Imperialism, which attempted to show that educaton did not spread as a ‘civilizing force’ or even because the returns from schooling were high. Rather, education was a useful way for economically and politically dominant groups to incorporate young people into an inequitable international division of labour.
In the last decade I have altered my position somewhat. My studies on the American economy and theories of the State have convinced me that the public sector is not only crucial for economists to understand, but that its structure and operation are the expression both of dominant groups and social movements for change. Thus, the expansion and nature of public education is a complex process, the result of pressures for greater social equity and conflicting pressures for social reproduction.
I have developed this view in my forthcoming book, Schooling and Work in the Democratic State.
