Special Lecture (in English)

Public Lecture: Education and the Commercial Mindset
Samuel E. Abrams
The impress of business on education has long been in evidence but has intensified significantly since the fall of the Berlin Wall and ensuing embrace of laissez-faire remedies. Drawing on his book Education and the Commercial Mindest (Harvard University Press, 2016), Samuel E. Abrams will examine this transformation with particular attention to the evolution of for-profit school management companies in Sweden and the United States, their impact on education policy, and the limits of the market model.

06.07.2016, 4 - 6 p.m., Campus Westend, Casino 1.811

 

"Kamingespräch/Fireside Chat" (in English)

Graduate Seminar: Education, Business, and Conflict
Samuel E. Abrams
The duality of culture and commerce has a long history. Athens represents the former, Corinth the latter. Yet laissez-faire advocates since the 1950s have pushed to erase the boundaries and make education a business. Drawing on his book Education and the Commercial Mindset, published in May by Harvard University Press, Samuel E. Abrams will explain the evolution of free market solutions for education and their limits. Abrams will pay particular attention to works in economics on asymmetry of information and incomplete contracting by Ronald Coase, Kenneth Arrow, Oliver Williamson, and Henry Hansmann.

07.07.2016, 4 - 8 p.m., Campus Westend, Seminar House 3.105

Samuel E. Abrams is director of the National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. He was previously a high school teacher of economics and history for 18 years.
