The democratic model of education is often hailed as Norden's present to the world. However, when faced with the rules of market economy and the aspirations of the new middle classes, popular education came into crisis. In this book, the past and the present of the Nordic model is studied by nine scholars from Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. They question its viability, as well as the credibility of its official history.
