In this major critique of neoliberalism in schooling and education, the contributors to this volume identify the types, levers, extents and impacts of neoliberal policies globally on education workers' rights, conditions and lives; on social class, race' and gender and other forms of equity, social justice and access; and on democracy, democratic control and critical thinking in education. This truly groundbreaking book exposes the machinations, agenda and impacts of the ' merchandisation' of education by the World Bank, the GATS, (General Agreement on Trade in Services), Conservative Think-Tanks, Global and National Corporations/ Capital, and Neoliberal (whether conservative or 'revised social democratic') Governments.
