| Abstract/Summary |
The future of universities can be posited from an analysis of the three most obvious ingredients which appear destined to be in that future - minds, markets and machines. The characteristics of each of these suggest certain principles that will be implicated in any model of university functionality (but of course, whilst the characteristics of each may be, in theory, quintessential, the understanding of these characteristics is, in fact, clearly ideological). Our analysis attempts to deal with both essentialist characteristics as well as ideological understandings. In doing so, we treat the issues in the order of our title, that is, minds, markets and machines. We deconstruct the ideology behind the current widespread attempts to commodify the outputs of universities and argue for alternative futures based on a more accurate analysis of the essential characteristics of universities.
