| Summary: | The purpose of this volume is to help jump-start an urgently needed conversation about fairness and justice in access to higher education to counteract the ubiquitous mantras of neoliberal globalization and managerialism. The book seeks to carve out a strong moral and normative basis for opposing mainstream developments that engender increasing inequality and market-dependency in higher education.

The book is essential reading for scholars of higher education and students concerned with increasing inequality in a globalizing educational marketplace |
