Death of the Guilds: Professions, States, and the Advance of Capitalism, 1930 to the Present

In this wide-ranging analysis, Elliot 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 implicatons for professionals and those they serve.
