Knowledge and money. Research universities and market paradox
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Market forces had a deep influence on the fundamental tasks of modern research university related to the creation and spread of knowledge. Thanks to these forces, American universities gained access to large financial resources, accepted the best students into their walls and established closer ties with the economy. However, market factors also aggravated inequality, weakened the university control over what is happening in it, and its ability to serve society. Based on the results of a 20-year study and new data covering 99 research universities, the author of the book "Knowledge and Money" explains this paradox, evaluating the influence of market forces on universities in four key areas: finance, basic higher education, scientific research and participation in the regional and national economic development.
