The book critiques the detrimental impact of reduced state funding and neoliberal reforms on universities, arguing that these institutions have become ensnared in jargon and meaningless marketing. John Smyth provides a sharp analysis of how this shift has degraded academic work and worsened social inequalities among staff and students. Additionally, it discusses potential pathways for reclaiming the integrity of higher education. This work is essential for students and researchers in education and sociology, as well as those concerned with university management.
