In this episode, we introduce a series of episodes that ask how money works in higher ed, and how the coming austerity cuts in the sector often reflect larger, existing administrative priorities rather than any coronavirus-based reality. This week, we look at those existing--and looming--cuts in light of Naomi Klein\'s concept of "disaster capitalism," which she defines it in her 2007 book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.
