In an Age of Experts

Mehr zum Buch

The book examines the emergence of a highly educated professional class in America since the 1960s, challenging the notion that this group has a unique influence on cultural values and politics. It argues that the political preferences of professionals align more closely with those of business owners and executives than previously thought, suggesting that the perceived distinctiveness of their values has been exaggerated. This analysis provides a nuanced perspective on the relationship between education, profession, and political ideology.
