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. \u003ci\u003eIn an Age of Experts\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Brint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.09w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691026077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Brint\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Riverside.
