Can the ivory tower rise above capitalism? Or are the humanities
and social sciences merely handmaids to the American imperial
order? The Capitalist University surveys the history of higher
education in the United States over the last century, revealing how
campuses and classrooms have become battlegrounds in the struggle
between liberatory knowledge and commodified learning. Henry Heller
takes readers from the ideological apparatus of the early Cold War,
through the revolts of the 1960s and on to the contemporary malaise
of postmodernism, neoliberalism and the so-called 'knowledge
economy' of academic capitalism. He reveals how American
educational institutions have been forced to decide between
teaching students to question the dominant order and helping to
perpetuate it. The Capitalist University presents a comprehensive
overview of a topic which affects millions of students in America
and increasingly, across the globe.
