This provocative book considers the negative side of "professionalism" as an ideology. Are there contradictions between democracy and the maintenance of exclusionist professions of self-regulating "experts" - lawyers, doctors, academics, and other highly educated workers? The material contained in this unusual volume breaks new ground in American social history, as, the editors note, "few writers have allowed themselves to admit the emperor is naked." [From back cover]
