Summary: | Education throughout the modern world has made it possible for people to enjoy a higher standard of living. However, in more recent years we have begun to note an alarming trend. In coun- tries which once boasted the best educational systems and the highest standard of living in the world, the standard of living for ever-increasing numbers of people is actually falling at a shock- ing rate. If they can find work at all, young people have to work twice as hard to have a standard of living that is equal to what their parents had. In the cities the streets are filled with homeless people. Crime is on the rise. Taxes are skyrocketing. And aging populations can no longer depend on the government to provide health care and a dignified retirement. |
