I Intend To Discuss Some Perplexing Issues Which Are Raised Once We Embrace The Hypothesis That Society Can Be Deschooled; To Search For Criteria Which May Help Us Distinguish Institutions Which Merit Development Because They Support Learning In A Deschooled Milieu; And To Clarify Those Personal Goals Which Would Foster The Advent Of An Age Of Leisure (schole) As Opposed To An Economy Dominated By Service Industries.

Societies In Which Most People Depend For Most Of Their Goods And Services On The Personal Whim, Kindness, Or Skill Of Another Are Called Underdeveloped, While Those In Which Living Has Been Transformed Into A Process Of Ordering From An All-encompassing Store Catalogue Are Called Advanced.
