How "innovative" finance schemes skim public wealth while hijacking
public governance Charter school expansion. Vouchers. Scholarship
tax credit programs. The Swindle of Innovative Educational Finance
offers a new social theory to explain why these and other
privatization policies and programs win support despite being
unsupported by empirical evidence. Kenneth J. Saltman details how,
under the guise of innovation, cost savings, and corporate social
responsibility, new and massive neoliberal educational
privatization schemes have been widely adopted in the United
States. From a trillion-dollar charter school bubble to the Chan
Zuckerberg Initiative to celebrities branding private schools,
Saltman ultimately connects such schemes to the country's current
crisis of truth and offers advice for resistance. Forerunners is a
thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written
between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on
scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference
plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange.
This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change,
and speculation take place in scholarship.
