Eliot Freidson has written a systematic account of professionalism
as a method of organizing work. In ideal-typical professionalism,
specialized workers control their own work, unlike the free market,
where consumers are in command, and bureaucracy, where managers
dominate. He shows how each method has its own logic, encouraging
different kinds of knowledge, jobs, work careers, educational
institutions and ideologies. Then he discusses the way historic and
national variations in state policy and professional organization,
as well as the demands of different kinds of work, influence the
strength of professionalism. In appraising the embattled status of
professionalism today, Freidson discusses the ideologically
inspired charges of monopoly, credentialism and elitism made by
both economists and populists. He concludes that professional
institutions are too useful to capital and the state to be
seriously weakened by such charges. What they do weaken is the
ethical independence of professions, their ability to resist use of
their specialized knowledge for maximizing profit and efficiency
and to insist on providing its benefits to all in need.
