Abstract

In order to understand the commodification of Brazilian education, in our perspective it is necessary to depart from the observation of contemporary capitalism and from the identification of the financial sector as the most powerful fraction of capital. Therefore, we choose to start this book with a chapter about financialization and its relation with education, specifically approaching the participation of the open-capital private sector in the production of school material and in the offering of other services in public education.
