About The Book
Creating the Market University by Elizabeth Popp Berman explores the significant shift that American universities underwent in embracing the logic of the market. The book systematically examines the transformation of academic science, which evolved from self-consciously being separate from commerce to becoming a critical economic engine for new industries and global competitiveness.
Drawing on extensive historical research, Berman investigates how the government played a key role in this shift, influenced by the growing belief that innovation drives the economy. The book discusses the confluence of events in the 1970s and 1980s that led to a political and policy interest in fostering innovation, culminating in universities becoming hubs for biotech entrepreneurship, patenting, and industry-research collaborations.
Contributing to ongoing debates about the role of universities in modern economies, this book offers valuable insights into how knowledge and politics intersect to shape the economy, making it an important read for those interested in the relationship between higher education, government, and industry.
