Pressezitat
"Kudos to Lawrence Baines for this gracefully clear, readable, and often astonishing explanation of significant connections among recent radical transformations of US military, correctional, and educational practices by means of intense corporate commercialization, often at the expense of the common good. Privatization of America's Public Institutions offers critical understanding of complex, fundamental, and ethically troubling US cultural change to which educated citizens have too little access. It offers deep insight into what is at stake for our nation's future in the taken-for-granted movement to privatize our most vital public institutions." Susan Laird, Past President, American Educational Studies Association, Center for Leadership Ethics and Change
