Description

This work surveys the history of American higher education from the early Cold War through the revolts of the 1960s and on to the age of postmodernism, neoliberal economics and academic capitalism. Over the course of this period it demonstrates that the humanities and social science disciplines have largely served as handmaids to American liberalism, capitalism and imperialism. Universities today have become battlegrounds in the struggle between those who seek to subordinate learning completely to capital and those who aspire to liberate knowledge from the shackles of commodified capitalism.
