Sinossi

Standardized Testing offers a comprehensive exploration of standardized assessments in education, examining their historical context, purpose, and impact. This academic analysis investigates whether these tests truly measure student learning or perpetuate social inequality. The book traces the evolution of standardized testing from early 20th-century intelligence measures to today's high-stakes evaluations, revealing how social, political, and economic forces have shaped their use.

 
Did you know standardized tests significantly influence not only students, but also teachers, schools, and educational policy? The book critically analyzes the claims of objectivity, accountability, and fairness often associated with standardized tests, scrutinizing their validity, reliability, and potential biases. It delves into the effects of test preparation on curriculum, the pressure on students, and potential demographic biases, advocating for a balanced assessment approach.

 
Structured around key themes such as test validity and the history of testing, the book progresses through different types of standardized tests and analyzes their impact on students and schools, culminating in a discussion of alternative assessment methods and implications for educational policy.

Tech Monopoly - (The MIT Press...

Herbert Hovenkamp

In recent years, the astronomical rise of tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft has been criticized as anticompetitive, and many have wondered if antitrust law can help protect workers and consumers. In Tech Monopoly, Herbert Hovenkamp explores competition problems in a wide range of high-tech firms—from those that sell purely digital products, such as video streaming, search, software, or email services, to others that sell more traditional "tactile" products, such as hardware, clothing, groceries, or rides. He offers a realistic look at the powers and limitations of antitrust law in tech markets with an assessment that is as comprehensive as it is accessible. 
 
 
 
After a general introduction to antitrust law, Tech Monopoly considers how competitive harm should be assessed in these markets. Then Hovenkamp looks at the role of large digital platforms, including Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, and considers whether their size alone is an antitrust problem or if the concern should be limited to market power. Finally, the author addresses the very difficult problem of remedies. Should we "break up" big tech, and if so, how? What kind of breakup of these firms would make users or others better off? And if breakups are not the only possible antitrust fix, are there more effective and less disruptive alternatives?
