Reviews

The affirmative and affirming vision of School Choice and the Betrayal of Democracy is one that rejects the 'neutrality' of 'the market' and the habit of ignoring problems such as economic coercion in favor of a world of interconnection. Asen's elegant analysis of the (a)morality of neoliberalism is sure to be heavily cited for years to come. -Patricia Roberts-Miller, author of Demagoguery and Democracy School Choice and the Betrayal of Democracy deals deftly with the pressing question of how well democratic practices and public advocacy hold up against the structures of neoliberalism and its valorization of market logics. This book uses both theoretical and empirical evidence to highlight the limitations of market logics for collective projects and suggests that we recommit ourselves to the difficult work of local political practice. -Catherine J. Chaput, author of Inside the Teaching Machine: Rhetoric and the Globalization of the U.S. Public Research University
