| Sumario: | What constitutes the public good in a highly individualistic, consumerist and privatized society?. The global financial crisis of 2008 revealed the extent to which the public realm had been eroded over the last thirty years and the inroads that privatization and commercialization have made into the higher education sector.

Jon Nixon argues that the university now has to be re-imagin. |
