  This book studies the history of choice in education, looking in particular at two schemes in the UK - assisted places and city technology colleges - which were promoted to increase parental choice in schools. As a contrast, the author examines the debate in the United States, looking at the magnet schools programme and the experiment in Boston, where all parents are forced to choose.
