Martha C. Nussbaum, the well-known American intellectual and philosopher, published Not for Profit with Princeton University Press in May of 2010. In it she criticizes the trend in education to mould students into passive instruments for the sake of economic profit. At the beginning of the book, Nussbaum observes that we are in the midst of a crisis of ＂huge proportions and grave global significance.＂ This crisis is not the economic crisis of recent years, but rather one going largely unnoticed which, in the long run, will be far more damaging to the future of democratic self-government： a worldwide crisis in education （1）.
