"The updated and expanded second edition of Patricia Burch's Hidden Markets comes at exactly the right time. This new edition extends the analysis of what was already a volume that opened our eyes to the hidden realties and effects of profit-making and privatization in education."- Michael W. Apple, from the Series Editor Introduction"In the current era of 'school reform', competition, choice and privatization of services have been viewed as the drivers of change. Not only have these strategies failed to deliver the improvements in schools that were promised, they have also contributed to corruption in the management of public schools and the further deterioration of schools in low-income urban areas. In this new edition of this important book, Tricia Burch explains why and how this has occurred. Through close examination of the ways in which private corporations have influenced the operation of school districts, Burch shows why privatization is a threat to the future of public education and she shows us how it might be resisted. Well documented and thoroughly engaging, this book will be an invaluable resource to those who seek to protect public education for future generations." - Pedro A. Noguera, PhD, Dean, Rossier School of Education, Distinguished Professor of Education, University of Southern California
"In an era when it is increasingly clear that we must challenge our fundamental assumptions about how schooling works, Patricia Bruch's timely second edition does exactly that - questioning not only our oldest assumptions but also newer ones, such as about the role and impact of privatization. Indeed, the book raises *the* fundamental question to be asked about the implementation of every education reform: what are the unintended consequences of our ostensibly well-intentioned policies and whose interests and wellbeing are ultimately (dis)served as a result." - Ebony N. Bridwell-Mitchell, Harvard Graduate School of Education
"Strongly grounded in theory and based on rich empirical research, Patricia Burch's Hidden Markets reveals the complex inter-linkages between neoliberal education policy in the US (NCLB and subsequent developments) and private sector interests. She points to evidence that markets have failed to deliver high quality education and to the serious implications that the new privatization has for equity and the democratic purposes of education. These are concerns that need to be urgently reflected upon and researched across the globe. Burch's important and insightful Hidden Markets is most timely." - Geetha B. Nambissan, former Professor of the Sociology of Education, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
