{"product_id":"hidden-knowledge-1","title":"Hidden Knowledge","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorking people are more knowledgeable and actively engaged in learning than public discussion generally assumes. Two basic assumptions underlie much recent discussion about work and learning: a new \"knowledge-based economy\" is quickly emerging with new jobs generally requiring greater knowledge and skill; and, a \"lifelong learning culture\" must be created in order for workers to cope with these employment-related knowledge demands. Virtually every recent public policy statement about employment in every advanced industrial country begins with these assumptions. It implies that most workers suffer from a deficit of necessary skills and knowledge which must be rectified by greater education and training efforts. \u003ci\u003eHidden Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e challenges these assumptions. Through life history interviews and case study research with union members, the actual learning practices of working class people are documented in unprecedented detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished Under the Garamond Imprint\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAvailable in the US through Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By D.W.
