Students are graduating from college with an unprecedented amount of debt. The Quebec student movement and the Occupy Wall Street movement proves that large numbers of students are demanding explanations for why they are crippled with debt and subject to ever increasing tution.
Giroux shows the mechanisms by which schools are being reorganized to prioritize profit over people and competitiveness over compassion; and addresses the dystopian implications of these changes in policy and thought.
Giroux's book will also help students understand how higher education is being corrupted by by money, power, and sports.
