Dr. Anthony DiMaggio earned his PhD in political science from the University of Illinois, Chicago. He has authored five books and written for numerous publications including Counterpunch, Znet and Monthly Review.
Finance Capital has moved into education in a major way after identifying the potential profits to be captured from the wealth allocated "to get ahead" by parents and society in what is pitched as a "knowledge based" economy. With only 25% of future jobs in the U.S. expected to require a college degree, many students will not find the job that they thought a degree guaranteed. That is also the existing crisis for Phd holders seeking a career in teaching.
Anthony will speak to the growing problems found in higher education in the United States and the abandonment of teaching , as a priority. He speaks to the unsustainable cost of higher education and the destruction of an engaged civil society that results.
