Conflict and Consensus in the Historical Process: The Intellectual Foundations of the School Finance Reform Litigation Movement.

Ward, James Gordon

Journal of Education Finance, v24 n1 p1-22 Sum 1998

Examines development of the equalization idea in American public education, discusses theorists' applications of equalization to school finance, reviews the literature on school-finance reform-litigation effects, and concludes that U.S. history has not strongly supported equalization of educational opportunities.
