Reviews

This book is timely, and its assessment of the trajectory of consequences stemming from the changes taking place in higher education is, indeed, spot on--Frank Scalambrino, Duquesne University A comprehensive account of how neoliberalism turned what should be a transformative and critical experience into a financialised and commodified process. This is a useful collection of essays that helps us to understand the audit culture, surveillance technologies and instrumental logic of a marketised higher education system.--Des Freedman, co-editor, The Assault on Universities, Goldsmiths, University of London
