A chapter in America’s Culture of Professionalism, 2014, pp 1-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For more than a century in an increasingly complex society, the culture of professionalism has steadily seized the high ground in higher education, government, and the marketplace with its multitude of self-anointed “professional” occupations. It is a culture that transcends both political left and right, as most Americans have no settled rank by birth or class and have to make a “place” for themselves. Is it any wonder then that the United States is supposedly the most professionalized country in the world?
