Neoliberalism, Corporate Culture, and the Promise of Higher Education: The University as a Democratic Public Sphere.

Giroux, Henry A.

Harvard Educational Review, v72 n4 p425-63 Win 2002

Addresses the corrosive effects of corporate culture on the academy and society, arguing that neoliberal discourses of privatization and commercialization reduce citizenship to self-interest. Maintains that corporate culture ignores social injustices while emphasizing unfettered market forces, threatening understanding of democracy and the meaning and purpose of higher education.
