The corporate world is watching us, but why does no one watch them? "This book explores a central contradiction of 21st century economy and society: the more morally and politically unaccountable capitalism and capitalists are, the more accountable the mass majority of its subjects must become. The technocratic ideology and surveillance culture of our modern marketized societies hides a deeper reality of a free market that is unmanageable and a corporate elite whose actions cannot be traced let alone regulated. This work highlights the paradoxical way an often disjointed and unjustifiable modern neoliberalism persists through subjecting individuals and communities to a wide range of technical and ethical 'accounting' in all areas of contemporary life. These pervasive practices of monitoring and codifying everything and everyone mask how at its heart this system and its elites remain socially uncontrollable and ethically out of control"--

This book studies the configuration of the freedom of higher education in Spain and in Europe during the 19th century. After a comparative study of European reality (France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain and the United States), the book shows that in Spain, during the Revolutionary Sexennium (1868-1874), measures were carried out that were in the European vanguard. The study analyzes, at different stages, who had a monopoly on university education; if professors could freely teach a program; if students had freedom to organize their studies and exams; if the University was free to grant its degrees; and if the university degrees allowed the holder to directly and freely practice his profession. The book concludes with an extensive appendix of legislation, speeches and other virtually unknown materials of the Revolutionary Sexennium.---Este libro estudia la configuración de la libertad de enseñanza superior en España y en Europa durante el siglo XIX. Tras un estudio comparado de la realidad europea (Francia, Alemania, Bélgica, Italia, Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos), en el libro se muestra que en España, durante el Sexenio Revolucionario (1868-1874), se llevaron a cabo medidas que estuvieron en la vanguardia europea. El estudio analiza, en las diferentes etapas, quién tenía el monopolio de la enseñanza universitaria; si los docentes podían enseñar libremente un programa; si los estudiantes gozaban de libertad para organizar sus estudios y sus exámenes; si la Universidad tenía libertad para otorgar sus títulos; y si los grados universitarios facultaban a su titular para ejercer directa y libremente su profesión. El libro concluye con extenso apéndice de legislación, discursos y otros materiales prácticamente desconocidos del Sexenio Revolucionario.
