A review by fusaroli
The Fall of the Faculty by Benjamin Ginsberg

3.0

I wholeheartedly agree with Ginsberg's message and reading the book gave me a visceral unease as the author nailed many of my own experiences. However, I disliked the very aggressive tone and jumping from example to example, instead of giving a more grounded (and quantitative!) analysis of the issues. We all (in academia) heard and experience the anecdotes, now I wanted solid stats and aggregated analyses between universities and countries. Maybe I just wasn't the right audience for this.
