Neoliberalism's War On Higher Education

Neoliberalism's War On Higher Education

Higher Education After Neoliberalism lays bare the corruption behind neoliberalism which has led to war on democracy. Giroux reveals how neoliberal policies and practices, which include privatisation and deregulation, have reshaped radically the mission and practice of higher education. The author charts an inspired, clear-minded course of action out of the dark wood of market-driven educational policy. The book provides a powerful background for educators, students and concerned citizens to understand how higher education is being corrupted.
