About this episode

The episode discusses the transformation of universities through different economic eras and their current crisis due to neoliberal policies.

How have universities changed in the eras of Fordism, post-Fordism and Platform Capitalism? How has the intersection of this history with the politics of neoliberalism and financialisation brought the entire sector to the brink of catastrophe?
