Respectable Professionals contains the contributions of fifteen
experts about the birth of new professions and the modernization of
working practices in old trades in nineteenth-century Spain. The
authors consider that professionalism and respectability were the
most relevant elements which structured the bourgeois society in
the nineteenth century. The economic changes resulting from the
abolition of guilds, the extension of the competences of the State
and the liberalization of the economy contributed greatly to the
renewal of the labour market. This process took place while some
other transformations gave rise to the bourgeois society, such as
the urbanization, the updating of the educational system or the
organization of professional networks and associations. Starting
from the sociology of professions, the book reflects on the
historical and sociocultural elements that influenced the
development of professional society through different case studies
that allow us to compare with other European countries. Nowadays we
are living through similar changes in the labour market that should
lead us to look back and learn from the challenges faced by
professionals in the past.
