The Rise of Professional Society by Harold Perkin

The Rise of Professional Society lays out a stimulating and controversial framework for the study of British society, challenging accepted paradigms based on class analysis. Perkins argues that the non-capitalist professional class represents a new principle of social organization based on trained expertise and meritocracy, a forgotten middle class conveniently overlooked by classical social theorists.
