Description

Explore the competitive realities of higher education with The Academic Marketplace by Routledge. This volume provides a deep look into the economic structures of academia, examining how competition within the university system mirrors the intensity found in the business world. As noted by the Los Angeles Times, this work is essential for anyone interested in academic problems, offering a sense of recognition for those within the field and surprise for those looking in from the outside. Professors Caplow and McGee bring scholarly respectability to the long-held suspicions of faculty regarding the professional landscape. By analyzing the academic marketplace through a lens of labor economics, this book serves as a significant resource for understanding the professional pressures faced by scholars. Whether you are a student of economics, a faculty member, or a researcher, this text provides a straightforward and hard-hitting look at the mechanics of academic life and professional competition.
