Education in the Age of Biocapitalism: Optimizing Educational Life for a Flat World

By Clayton Pierce

Book Overview

Biocapitalism, an economic model built on making new commodities from existing forms of life, has fundamentally changed how we understand the boundaries between nature/culture and human/nonhuman. This is the first book to examine its implications for education and how human capital understandings of education are co-evolving with biocapitalism.
