‘Nearly every aspect of education now is considered fair game for privatization. The Research Handbook on Education Privatization and Marketization is an essential read for both enthusiasts and opponents, and everyone in between. It necessarily challenges assumptions and raises urgent questions about the future of privatization. The most ambitious attempt yet to paint the bigger picture behind marketization and privatization – a definitive account of the economic, political, and social forces that drive one of the most important dynamics in education in the past century.’
