Ashton (sociology, U. of Leicester) and Green (economics, U. of Leeds) survey empirical data, examine theoretical approaches to education and training, and take a close look at current skills trends in the global economy determining the institutional and historical determinants to low or high skill occupations. They conclude with an examination of public policy in industrial countries and its profound influence on education and training. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
