Informationen zum Autor Catherine Chaput is an associate professor of English at the University of Nevada, Reno. She is the coeditor of Entertaining Fear: Rhetoric and the Political Economy of Social Control . Klappentext Inside the Teaching Machine argues that the U.S. public research university has always been a vital component of the capitalist political economy. Advocates of higher education have long contended that universities should operate above the crude material negotiations of economics and politics. Such arguments often ignore the historical reality that the American university system emerged through, and in service to, a capitalist political economy.
