Abstract
In the knowledge era, indeed, the struggle is between knowledge that is both resource and product in a world of fast capitalism and knowledge as mutual engagement in processes of shared critical social construction, and thus, more culturally inclusive and socially productive.

Today, the idea of knowledge as an economic product, commodified, for sale on a global market, is no longer palatable.
