Reviews for Marketing Schools, Marketing Cities
"Maia Bloomfield Cucchiara provides a very clear and compelling example of the involvement of private people and business in public education and of the ways in which market strategies have been at work here. She offers a major contribution that provides a good, detailed look at how 'market mechanisms' play out in practice." (Lisa Stulberg, New York University)"
