- Summary:
- Power in the Highest Degree, one of the most comprehensive studies of professionals ever undertaken, exposes professionalism as a double-edged sword that is transforming capitalist and socialist societies alike. Drawing on interviews with over 1,000 practicing professionals--about their work, politics, and personal lives--the authors show how, by dispensing self-interested and morally colored judgments as scientific truth, modern professionals are trying to monopolize what passes for objective knowledge.
