Description
Business schools continue to promote neoliberal capitalism, perpetuating injustices and planetary consequences. In "Shut Down the Business School", Martin Parker argues that these institutions are 'cash cows' for universities, producing unreflective managers focused on personal rewards. Parker proposes a radical alternative: a "School for Organising" that develops different forms of organising, rather than reproducing the corporate model. This institution would enable individuals to discover alternative responses to pressing issues like inequality and sustainability. By challenging the notion that 'the market' should dictate university education, Parker makes a compelling case for change.
