Description
"Ivan Illich was one of the most radical political and social thinkers in the second half of the twentieth century. In 1970 Illich published Deschooling Society which argued that the top-down management of schools makes students powerless - and that the same top-down management is typical of the modern, technological economy that prevents people from learning. Tools for Conviviality made the same criticism of technology generally. Along with Energy and Equity, this book made Ivan Illich one of the most important theorists of the radical ecology movement of the 1970s.
Lee Hoinacki is a former Dominican priest, professor of political science, and subsistence farmer.

In 1960, he met Ivan Illich in Puerto Rico and became his close friend and collaborator. Hoinacki is completing a book on the subject of death based on one of these collaborations."
