Hi Ken,
You wrote,
'Expertise and professional self-governance brings with it high social
status. The privileges and opportunities that attend this status drive
professional ambition and set professional practitioners at odds with fellow
citizens outside the professional group. Even though professionals are
citizens who presumably act on behalf of the larger society, high social
status and power engender forms of corruption that are not always measured
in vice and venality, but may be measured in rent-seeking and self-serving
behavior. The argument of professional conspiracy appears in Adam Smith
(1976: 144). It appears again as one aspect of the corrosion of character in
Richard Sennett (1998).'
This is about researchers and scholars?
