‘Stephen Gough has written a subtle and clever book, crafted with his characteristic style and wit. He critically examines the idea of investment in technical and vocational education and training from a range of perspectives and possibilities, exploring literal and metaphoric nuances as they relate to both individuals and society. This is at once both a theoretical and a practical text, and an optimistic one. So, if you're ready to be challenged and stimulated, and are open to thinking about TVET in novel ways, this book's for you.'William Scott, Professor of Education, University of Bath, UK
