Abstract: Since the reign of Reagan, education in the U.S. has been increasingly transformed to meet the competitive needs of corporations within globalized markets.Beginning with A Nation at Risk and proceeding through the national educational summits convened by IBM CEO Louis Gerstner at IBM headquarters, proliferating standardized tests and cries for educational accountability, education is being reshaped to support the now dominant neo-liberal economic policies promoted by government and corporations.In this paper I will develop a Marxist and Foucauldian analysis of the effects of neo-liberal economic policies on education and the lives of teachers and students.
