Rethink Your Financial Purpose

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

The Art and Science of Growing Ventures

Entrepreneurial Finance

Every Sunday night, teachers across America are familiar with a host of feelings that have been coined the "Sunday Scaries." Some are excited by the opportunities of a new week, while others are exhausted by the stress of planning lessons to meet constantly shifting educational mandates and the significant emotional needs of an entire generation of students who faced learning loss during and after COVID. The current political climate means that they also feel targeted and are at risk of being fired or demonized for their actions, simply because of a single out-of-context conversation or a misleading video. Creating Teachpreneurs is one way to transform those Sunday Scaries into Monday possibilities. It's a tactical guide and motivational manifesto designed to help educators leverage their existing skills, such as strategic planning, content design, and resilience, and turn them into a profitable and fulfilling business on their own terms.
 There are other options for learning how to start a business. Unlike other business books filled with jargon and fluff, this book speaks directly to the teacher's experience, providing a clear pathway to entrepreneurship rooted in the skills they already use every day. Through a blend of true-to-life stories and fictional vignettes, readers will learn how to turn their classroom wisdom into business impact, gain legal and financial clarity, and build a scalable venture that reclaims their creativity and passion without burning out.

Creating Teachpreneurs

From artificial intelligence (AI) to quantum computing, every new technology is surrounded by 'hype' - but what exactly is hype, and how does it work? This is the first book to take hype seriously, showing how it is made, managed, and mobilised across today's innovation landscapes. Far from being just empty talk, hype has become a structured practice and even a business in its own right. The authors uncover the machinery that drives markets, guides innovation, and shapes whole promissory economies. They also initiate 'Hype Studies' - a new way of understanding how innovation unfolds in the digital age and beyond. After Hype not only establishes hype as a serious object of study but also reveals it to be one of the most powerful yet overlooked forces shaping and influencing our technological future. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The Business of Taming the Digital Economy

After Hype

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.
