Empires Of Ideas: Creating The Modern University From Germany To America To China

The United States is the global leader in higher education, but this was not always the case and may not remain so. William Kirby examines sources of--and threats to--US higher education supremacy and charts the rise of Chinese competitors. Yet Chinese institutions also face problems, including a state that challenges the commitment to free inquiry.
