From Upton Sinclair's 'Goose Step' to the Neoliberal University (lulu.com)
This is a unique collection of 15 essays by two Purdue University professors who use their institution as a case-in-point study of the changing nature of the American 'multiversity.' They begin with a discussion of a book from an earlier time, Upton Sinclair's 'The Goose-Step A Study of American Education' from 1923, which exposed the capitalist corruption of the ivory tower. They then bring the narrative to today’s far-reaching changes in higher education. The authors detail how military industries are not only penetrating the universities but shaping the research and curricular agenda. They also include, as an appendix, a 1967 essay by SDS leader Carl Davidson, who broke some of the original ground on the subject.
