Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this wide-ranging analysis, Elliott Krause considers the autonomy and leverage of modern professional groups-medicine, law, university teaching, and engineering-in the United States and four European countries over the past three decades. Finding that each group has experienced a decline in its power relative to that of the state and capitalist institutions, Krause considers the implications for professionals and those they serve.
