Abstract
Once in a great while, a book comes along that takes such a fresh and original look at some accepted way of American life that it takes your breath away. These are books like Michael Harrington's The Other America, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring or, in the area of work and labor, books like Bluestone and Harrison's The Deindustrialization of America or Juliet Schor's The Overworked American. Their power comes not only from the strength of the conventional wisdom they are debunking, but from the simple elegance of their insight and rebuttal. In slightly less than 300 pages, Gordon Lafer has delivered a careful, intelligent, yet devastating critique of contemporary federal job training in The Job Training Charade. Our thinking about job training will never be the same.
