Description
First published in 1972, this book presents an alternative framework for understanding occupational change in industrial societies. It challenges traditional theories of professions and explores how social distance between producers and consumers leads to the development of various institutions of control.
The author examines the social conditions necessary for these methods of control to emerge and discusses the apparent decline of professionalism in both developed and developing societies. This thought-provoking analysis offers insights into the complexities of occupational specialisation and its impact on social structures.
