Programmed for Failure: a Triptych Herbert Wieder

Programmed for Failure is an authoritative study of the ways that politics and pieties have failed the most vulnerable and most volatile members of society: the young. By declaring war on drugs, while avoiding a candid confrontation with the natural pressures and confusions of adolescence, and tolerating public schools that do not teach basic literacy, governments waste millions on what cant be legislated, and program our children for failure.
