Education in Globalization

Through a series of new and previously published essays, Education in Globalization analyzes the nature of education under American hegemony. The author interprets the role of education as an institutional or ideological apparatus for bourgeois domination. He then examines the means by which global and local social actors are educated within the capitalist world system to serve the needs of the capital (i.e. capital accumulation). The work concludes with an essay delineating what is to be done to reproduce the contemporary capitalist world system, in spite of the pending ecological crisis and the proletarianization of the masses.
