Education in the public sector is undergoing a period of radical change, one that is shifting to embrace the role of private organizations in government services. In this groundbreaking book, Stephen J.

By drawing the lines of this network, the authors highlight the increasing influence that financial capital and education businesses have on public policy and service delivery.
