"Of course, for those in the academy who have never enjoyed the now-disappearing privileges and for those who never fully bought into the logic of the game of the academy's monopoly of the circulation of cultural capital, the call from on high to band together to defend the institution against the 'sudden' encroachment of arbitrary methods for managing human capital is bound to produce a range of conflicting responses." (37)

An important point, couched in imperfect prose. I expected to dislike this book. Instead, I liked it. It calleth bullshit upon a lot of bullshit.
