Exploring the stark disparities in educational opportunities, this book highlights how class divisions shape the experiences of American children from an early age. It critiques the free market capitalism that frames educational choices as parental decisions while perpetuating segregation and inequality. By analyzing three New York City schools, it reveals the competitive landscape of education, likening it to a "hunger games" scenario, where resources and social connections determine a child's economic future amidst a backdrop of austerity and corporate reform.
