We live in the age of global science – but not, primarily, in the
sense of ‘universal knowledge’ that has characterized the liberal
metanarrative of ‘free’ science and the ‘free society’ since
its early development in the Enlightenment. Today, an economic logic
links science to national economic policy, while globalized
multinational science dominates an environment where quality assurance
replaces truth as the new regulative ideal. This book examines the
nature of educational and science-based capitalism in its cybernetic,
knowledge, algorithmic and bioinformational forms before turning to
the emergence of the global science system and the promise of openness
in the growth of international research collaboration, the development
of the global knowledge commons and the rise of the open science
economy. Education, Science and Knowledge Capitalism explores the
nature of cognitive capitalism, the emerging mode of social production
for public education and science and its promise for the
democratization of knowledge.
