N2 - This critical policy examination of the economistic discourses that control Texas's accountability reforms explores how over the last three decades Texas business elite utilized the policy process, power relationships, and educational value conflicts that promote accountability as the paradigm for education reform. Attention on "who gets what, when, and how" finds the balance of educational values is distorted on behalf of the business-power elites and undermines the democratic authority of accountability reforms.
