The future of public higher education is being held hostage by financial institutions and actors. How did it get this way?

Lend & Rule reveals the "shadow governance" of debt and credit in the United States higher education system. With sharp and hard-hitting insight, the Coalition Against Campus Debt exposes how institutional debt is a primary driver of university austerity, miseducation, and the deepening of societal inequality.

Addressing how our lives are entangled in a debt economy, they develop the analysis necessary to transform higher education in today's neoliberal racial capitalist political economy.

Part theoretical analysis, part toolbox for organizers in higher education, Lend & Rule is an invaluable resource for anyone engaged in debt abolition struggles or looking to acquire a critical and transformative vision of higher education today.
