Opis

By considering Shakespeare’s dramatisation of the principles that inform neoliberal education policy, this book aims to contribute to debate on the moral failure of the market mechanism in our schools and higher education system today, and to offer Shakespeare’s humanism as a corrective to neoliberal ideology.
