Synopsis
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 state and capitalist institutions, Krause considers the implications for professionals and those they serve.
