Thorough, systematic, and resourceful
I've read a lot of books on for-profit universities lately, and this one is by far the most systematic and thorough study. The author digs up many interesting details and has a keen eye for history and typology. The study has its limits, however -- the extraordinary lobbying efforts of the industry are only superficially covered; the international reach of the for-profits and their plans for their global future, financed by high-profile private equity investment firms, is not really covered; and generally the latest developments over the past several years or so are not in the book -- academic scholarship is much slower than its object of study.
