Some Social History 8

‘The professions have struck a bargain with society. In return for access to their extraordinary knowledge in matters of great human importance, society has granted them a mandate for social control in their fields of specialisation, a high degree of autonomy in their practice and a licence to determine who shall assume the mantle of professional.’ Everett Hughes (1959), pioneering sociologist of the professions © The Dental Business Academy
