This book investigates the ideological foundations and systemic mechanisms of neoliberalism within global education systems while proposing strategies for effective resistance. Dave Hill, a prominent scholar in critical pedagogy, curates a collection of essays from an international cohort of academics and activists. The text argues that market-driven educational policies prioritize capital accumulation over democratic participation, and it provides a framework for challenging these structures through collective action and policy reform.

Experts in critical pedagogy recognize this text as a significant resource for understanding the intersection of political economy and educational reform. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the breadth of the international perspectives presented by the contributors.
