The book summarizes a wide range of literature within Freidson's innovative and profound theory of professionalism as a \"logic\" of institutions different from (and in conflict with) the logics of the market and of bureaucracy. It should be required reading for anyone concerned with the vital issue of the importance of - and contemporary threats to - the social values intrinsic to professionalism.\" \u003ci\u003eRobert Alford, City University of New York\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"As learned and tightly argued as any work in the Weberian tradition, this book develops an ideal-type analysis of professionalism that transcends the particular circumstances of specific occupations.

In ideal-typical professionalism, specialized workers control their own work, while in the free market consumers are in command, and in bureaucracy managers dominate. Freidson shows how each method has its own logic requiring different kinds of knowledge, organization, career, education and ideology. He also discusses how historic and national variations in state policy, professional organization, and forms of practice influence the strength of professionalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In appraising the embattled position of professions today, Freidson concludes that ideologically inspired attacks pose less danger to professionals' institutional privileges than to their ethical independence to resist use of their specialized knowledge to maximize profit and efficiency without also providing its benefits to all in need.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This timely and original analysis will be of great interest to those in sociology, political science, history, business studies and the various professions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements. \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One: Professionalism: the Ideal Type.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Professional Knowledge and Skill.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Divisions of Labour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Labor markets and Careers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Training Programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Ideologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two: The Contingencies of Professionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: States and Associations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Bodies of Knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: The Assault on Professionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Soul of Professionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52460695650584,"sku":"9780745603315","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745603315.jpg?v=1785458706","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/professionalism-the-third-logic-paperback-softback-9780745603315","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
