Since the 1960s the number of highly educated professionals in America
has grown dramatically. During this time scholars and journalists have
described the group as exercising increasing influence over cultural
values and public affairs. The rise of this putative "new class" has
been greeted with idealistic hope or ideological suspicion on both the
right and the left. In an Age of Experts challenges these
characterizations, showing that claims about the distinctive politics
and values of the professional stratum have been overstated, and that
the political preferences of professionals are much more closely
linked to those of business owners and executives than has been
commonly assumed.
