Play Culture - What Kind of Economic Lessons Can Kids Learn on the Playground?

Playground architecture and play as a project of education, has a history which it isn't really originally economic so much as a question of personality and even politics. We begin to see the intersection of play culture with economics in a really direct way in the 19 90s. And from the late nineties onwards into the early two thousands, there really does persei this sort of emergence of the idea that creative play is essential to the development of certain sorts of economic capacity. But capitalism has become no sort of coterminus with these notions of or childhood's development in quite an, quite an important way.
