Product Description
This book documents the changes in higher education in the United States. Using the theoretical notion of 'commodification' (nearly everything can be bought and sold), it explores the impact of the economy and market forces on faculty, students, the administration and the state of knowledge itself in higher education.
Faculty, particularly part-time and temporary members, are pressured to become laborers in the factors of knowledge, as education is rationalized into a service-based industry for the benefit of specific markets. University administrators have mushroomed, becoming autonomous corporate cultures disconnected from the goals of teaching and learning, and students have become consumers of education products. This book offers a critique of these trends in higher education and assessed their impact on western culture. ... Read more

Great analysis
This book helped to clarify what has been called the "corporatization of education" that is taking place not only in higher education but in education in general.With corporations looking to education as a potential profit mine, the mission of education as a tool for a democratic society is being eroded.Shumar takes the concept of commodification and analyzes this trend throughout U.S. history with great detail. Although this book is pretty academic, and the postmodern terminology can turn some people off, this is a valuable resource for everyone looking to combat the corporate takeover of education and work to make it for what it should be intended for, a key tool for democracy. ...
