Summary	Gabbard and others promote a theory that the economized worldview adversely affects educational pedagogy by reducing all educational learning and thought to economic mean or motive. They contend that this worldview influences the prevailing infrastructure to accept, support, and produce attitudes of colonialism, prejudice, and cultural domination.
