| This book identifies the growth of the professions as a key element in Britain's modernization. Professional power depended ultimately upon public trust in specialist knowledge, but the professions were subjected to a torrent of ridicule and satire. This analysis centers on a discussion of the philosophical questions arising from the complex relationship between power and knowledge. This is an important book for historians, professional educators and for all analysts of power. |
