Death of the Guilds
By:"Elliott A. Krause"
Published on 1999 by Yale University Press
In a uniquely wide-ranging analysis of modern professional group power, Elliott A. Krause looks at four traditional professions; medicine, law, university teaching, and engineering. His richly detailed comparison of the autonomy and leverage these professions wield in five countries - the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and Germany - reveals many differences among the countries and the professions. Yet in the past three decades each professional group in each country has experienced a marked decline in its powers in relation to the state and to capitalist institutions. With a shift toward capitalist control, Krause contends, the professions operate more on a for-profit basis, and increased rationing of services becomes more likely.
