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
