In an Age of Experts by Steven Brint
Since the 1960s the number of highly educated professionals in America has grown dramatically. This title challenges these characterizations, showing that claims about the distinctive politics and values of the professional stratum have been overstated.
"Brint's important book.. tackles very large and complex questions about the changing roles of the professions in advanced capitalist societies... It continues lines of analysis that have been pursued since the classic turn-of-the-century works of sociology, and it does so with great success."--Contemporary Sociology "Brint's important book ... tackles very large and complex questions about the changing roles of the professions in advanced capitalist societies...
