This valuable study of McGettigan focus on shifting educational landscape in the ‘technical side’ of higher education provision and changes to higher education institutions. To the Author, governments are taking a huge gamble with universities, introducing uncertainty into a stable and productive system. In more general perspective, the Book covers issues of funding, marketization, privatization and financialization of higher education. The main arguments of McGettigan in this book are; the comprehensive changes in technology, economy, society and government are inherently damaging the integrity of higher education system, and the effects of these changes are being implemented in a covert manner in order to curtail democratic debate.
