"Education and the Proliferation of the New (Old) Concepts" Response

In the article "Education and the Proliferation of the New (Old) Concepts," the author Paul Theobald points out that we need to make a better effort in educating our citizens to get the most out of the ideas of agrarianism, the commons, no-growth economics, and the maximum wage that can help solve the world's problems. Theobald discusses the need to educate the common people so better ideas can be introduced to society about fixing the world's problems.  When discussing agrarianism, Theobald shows that we need to return to an agrarian world view because can help reduce the heating of the atmosphere, but we need to educate more people about it so that this global warming can be stopped. The author also introduces the ideas of no-growth economics, which is the idea that society should maintain equal levels of population and economic activity, and maximum wage . However, to be able to put these into play, we must educate the public about it and its benefits to our society. The problem with our society is that our education system is too dependent on training the workforce than it is on education for the sake of knowledge and being a good citizen. However, if we slowly start teaching society about these concepts, we will be able to repair our world.
