A response to Argentina's shifting political climate, Global Liberalism and Elite Schooling in Argentina reveals how elite schooling encourages the hoarding of educational advantage and reinforces social inequalities. Presenting Buenos Aires's Caledonian School as part of the growing scholarly discussion on elite education in the Global South, Howard Prosser situates the school's history in concert with that of the state, the region, and the globe.
