KnackNow: Masculinity, Classroom Diversity and Capitalism

What Knackers are reading
We’ve collected here the best stories and insights that we’ve come across during the week in areas such as business, workforce, education, science, technology, innovation, poverty and progress, the digital economy, and other world-shaping ideas and events.
This week’s reading asks us to examine the changing definition of masculinity in a world of growing gender equality, the crisis of capitalism, and team building. Another post looks at the line between dressed-up resumes and outright lying. There’s also great stuff on modern internships, classroom diversity and raising brilliant children. Oh, and there’s one on the love industry.
