Put yourself in the position of the Atlanta educators whose dilemma is described in the case. If there was a real possibility that you’d lose your job because your students performed badly, how would assess your situation and your options?

In Chapter 6, he further elaborates upon his proposal, arguing that democratic socialism is up to the challenge of addressing the six crises. Evaluate Adler's argument.

What social or economic forces are at the heart of his democratic socialist society--how is this thing supposed to work? What's the logic of that system? For a given crisis which you care about and think needs to be solved, how successful is Adler in demonstrating that democratic socialism is the solution.arrow_forward
