By Cary Nelson

In his groundbreaking book, The Corporate University and the Fate of the Humanities, renowned scholar Cary Nelson explores the growing influence of corporations on higher education and its impact on the humanities. This thought-provoking book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of academia and the role of the humanities in society.

Nelson argues that the increasing corporatization of higher education is leading to a decline in the humanities. He points to the fact that corporations are increasingly dictating the curriculum and research agenda of universities, and that this is having a negative impact on the quality of education. He also argues that the humanities are being marginalized in the corporate university, and that this is a threat to the very foundation of our democracy.

Nelson's book is a powerful indictment of the corporate university. He provides a wealth of evidence to support his claims, and he offers a number of concrete proposals for how to resist the corporatization of higher education. This is a must-read book for anyone who cares about the future of academia and the role of the humanities in society.
