Will Teach for Food - Academic Labor in Crisis

'Higher education is being restructured to suit the needs and myths of the so-called free market economy. 'Will Teach for Food' exposes the myths and reveals what people employed at all levels of academic life are doing to improve their own futures and the future of the American university.' --David Montgomery, Yale University

Summary
