About the book

An exciting account of the Battle in Seattle in 1999. The author maintains that education was a key element of the WTO Agenda, and outlines the WTO strategy for opening education up to corporate capital. Describing the significance of education for anti-captialism, Rikowski draws upon the ideas of Marx arguing that education and training in capitalism help constitute the social production of labour-power, the unique commodity upon which capitalism rests.
