The Commodification of Education
Karpov, A. O.
Russian Education and Society, v55 n5 p75-90 May 2013
This critique of the interpretation of education exclusively in terms of
the system of commodity relations explores the general cultural role
of education and its "producing" function from the standpoint of the
growth of the culture of knowledge. It looks at the position taken by
foreign specialists that sheds light on the negative consequences of the "commodification" of education.
