Abstract
Aim. To analyze the reasons for the emergence of academic capitalism, its forms, manifestations and trends of higher school development under the conditions of academic capitalism. Methodology. Research has been conducted on various manifestations of academic capitalism, such as academic entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial University, and the proletarization of academic labor. In their work, the authors use methods of comparative analysis, comparison, generalization and interpretation of research results. Results. The article shows how academic entrepreneurship, commercialization of academic activities change the paradigm of higher school development, the structure of the university, increases the number of professional managers, and strengthens their position in the leadership core. The article reveals the trend of how the desire for economic efficiency leads to reduction in academic freedoms, universities turn into commercial companies (corporations), and academic employees into proletarians of intellectual labor. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the theoretical understanding of the development of higher education under the conditions of academic capitalism, allow all interested in economic issues to see what academic capitalism is and what prospects for its development are.
