Every Student Has Their Price cover

Over the past four decades, English higher education has been fundamentally remade – from a heavily subsidised public good into a competitive neo-market driven by full-cost tuition fees, uncapped student numbers and new commercial providers.

What are the consequences of treating university education as a commodity?

An authoritative and accessible account, Every Student Has Their Price locates the reforms within the broader context of neoliberalism. The book not only explains what changed and why but assesses the cumulative impact and maps the roads not taken – plus paths that remain open still.

Invaluable reading for anyone studying, researching, working or interested in higher education, this book speaks powerfully about the future of universities as public institutions.

“Brown and Carasso blend their years of experience in higher education with their research expertise to produce a compelling and disturbing diagnosis of our troubled universities.” R. A. W. Rhodes, University of Southampton
