- Title
RESPONSIBLE KNOWLEDGE- BASED INNOVATION.
- Authors
Guston, David H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the commodification of higher education and its relation to the general commodification of public life. Jennifer Washburn's book "University, Inc." examines the move towards capitalist values for those who run universities, rather than the traditional knowledge-based value systems that were once favored by institutions of higher education in the United States. While some view this trend as a corruption of schooling, others believe that it is a sign of the increasing democratization of colleges, which could lead to greater innovation.
