The right to higher education: a political theory: by Christopher Martin, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2022, pp. 244, ISBN: 9780197612910.

"The Right to Higher Education: A Political Theory" by Christopher Martin argues that higher education should be considered a basic right for all citizens in a liberal democratic society. Martin believes that higher education is essential for promoting equal citizenship and advancing public goods such as citizenship skills and collective knowledge. He critiques arguments for selective access to higher education and advocates for full public funding to avoid amplifying existing inequalities. While Martin's ideas may be seen as idealistic and politically unfeasible in the current context, his book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the importance of higher education in society.
