Educational thinker Henry A. Giroux is the author of several books on American education, including the 2014 title Neoliberalism's War on Higher Education. In this book, he presents a scathing critique of market-driven education and reveals corporations and government as the sources of attacks on the ideal of education for participation in democracy. He warns that the forces of predatory capitalism and are leading American education to a privatized system run by corporations, driving young people out of democracy.
