The meaning of adult's education in periods of economic and political crisis

Abstract

In this article we wish to present that the problems of today’s economic and political crisis have already been shown in the beginning of capitalism in the 18th century and have for the first time erupted as economic crisis in the 30th years of former century. That is why we try, through historical display of basic ideas of radical education of adults for social changes (Coady, Horton, Linderman, Freire, Gramsci), find their basic teachings and methods which could serve as a foundation for today’s base of adults’ education which would help people, affected by present crisis.
