Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a systematic, sectoral, and in-depth Marxist perspective of critical political economy in higher education. It offers an



original method of analysis of higher education as a field of capitalist production, grounded at the intersection of mainstream higher education research and contemporary debates in Marxist theories. At the same time, it imbues a political perspective based on the embedding of higher education within the wider social network of antagonistic relations that traverse the capitalist economy at large. Krystian Szadkowski is Assistant Professor in the Scholarly Communication Research Group at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland. .
