In this fascinating and controversial collection of essays Ivan Illich, Irving K Zola, John McKnight, Jonathan Caplan and Harley Shaiken challenge the power and mystery of professions. Why do we put so much resource into medicine, education and the law with so little apparent result? Why do we hold the professions in awe and allow them to set up what are in effect monopolies? By analyzing these questions and putting forward radical answers, the authors make an invaluable contribution to the public debate on the power of professions.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ivan Illich

Ivan Illich was born in Vienna in 1926.
Illich's path to freedom becomes intertwined, from a certain point onward, with Latin America, and Mexico in particular, where he founded the renowned CIDOC (Intercultural Documentation Center) research center.
His work breaks with all models of academic thought.
While not rejecting formal positions in academia in principle, Illich always sought to integrate into the community of meaning and senses that he considered to be his natural place.
Regarding our times, he wrote that "economic growth projects quickly crumble into ruin, and we must learn to live amidst their debris."
