"We live at a time when the competitive, capitalist model of action has eclipsed all other contemporary social and economic models and threatens the greater cooperative good of society. Neoliberalism is an attempt to reimagine governance in an age of mass democratic policies by its intention to inoculate capitalism against the threat of democracy. Education for Action: A Curriculum for Social Activists sees social action as a vital vehicle in challenging this intense individualistic, managerial and competitive ethos. Such action is a collective, transformative response to capitalism which combines local activism, community development and the advocacy of social, political and economic rights to help committed citizens initiate, stimulate and support social change at both local and global levels. The book explains the methods, instruments, theories and practices that help educators encourage activists to build power amongst concerned individuals using a curriculum that emphasises the importance of critical theory and which is accessible to everybody and rooted in their community.

Les réformes globales ou partielles qui ont été entreprises dans le domaine agricole en Allemagne depuis 1945, prennent toutes leur origine dans des décisions du Conseil de Contrôle Allié. Ces réformes sont toutes fondées sur cette notion discutable que la situation politique et agraire de l'Allemagneentière est analogue à celle qui règne dans les régions situées à l'Est de l'Elbe pays des Junkers. La nécessité de la réforme agraire, en tant qu'élément de démilitarisation et d'élimination de l'influence économique et, par suite, politique, de la classe des grands propriétaires et des Junkers, a donc été généralisée à toutes les zones. La nécessité de cette réforme s'est trouvée renforcée par la constatation, chaque jour plus évidente, que l'absorption des populations (allemandes ou d'origine allemande) chassées de la région de l'Oder et de l'Est de l'Oder ainsi que celles du Sud-Est de l'Europe aggraverait encore le ravitaillement déjà difficile du reste de l'Allemagne. Il est, d'autre part, devenu chaque jour plus évident que l'établissement et l'assimilation de ces expulsés dans les autres parties de l'Allemagne ne pouvait s'effectuer sans plan et sans méthode en se contentant de les loger dans des habitations nues.
