In this groundbreaking second edition of Learning as Development, Daniel A. Wagner transforms our understanding of international development by positioning learning at its core. Through a compelling global lens, Wagner demonstrates how education shapes both individual destinies and national futures, with real consequences for income, social mobility, health and well-being. This new edition provides timely perspectives on education's role in an increasingly interconnected and challenged world. The work traces international development from pre-colonial times to today's learning equity movement, explores how people learn across different cultures and contexts, examines the intersection of education with critical global challenges including climate change, migration, civil conflict and new technologies, and presents cutting-edge research through vivid context-rich examples. Essential reading for students, practitioners, and policymakers in education, human development, sociology, anthropology and global development, Wagner's analysis offers fresh insights into human potential for those who care about improving the lives of people across the globe.
