Discussing the precarious concept is not a fad. It is a debate about understanding the geopolitics of capital in times of crisis and potential conflict; we say that based on authors such as István Mészáros (2009), Giovani Alves (2007, 2012, 2013), Mandel (1990), Standing (2015), and others. It should be pointed out that the purpose of this article is to reflect on the relationship between the expansion of higher education, the structural crisis of capital and its implications on the visibility of the precarious. The methodology used is qualitative, based on documentary analysis and results of empirical research, aiming to indicate the urgency to discuss the precariousness and its relation with the expansion of higher education in Brazil in a context of structural crisis of capital and neoliberalism. The results show that the expansionist process of higher education in the present historical moment, rather than being a possibility of human emancipation, is under the rule of capital and transformed into cheap, easy-to-use and cheap merchandise content and this is spreading this way in all levels of the Brazilian education system whose visibility lies in the precarious.
