About the work

In an Age of Experts (ISBN 9780691026077) explores how contemporary societies recruit, rely on, and sometimes misplace confidence in specialized knowledge, revealing the social and political implications of expert authority in everyday life.

Summary

Brint analyzes the emergence of expert-led institutions and the ways public trust is shaped by credentialing, technocratic decision-making, and institutional norms. He traces the dynamics of expertise across fields such as education, government, and business, illustrating both the benefits of specialized knowledge and the tensions it can cause when overreliance or hollow claims arise. The work interrogates how expertise becomes a social commodity, influencing policy, identity, and legitimacy in modern societies.

About the author

Steven Brint is a distinguished sociologist known for his extensive research on social stratification, organization, and urban life. His scholarly work combines empirical analysis with theoretical insight to illuminate how institutions shape human behavior and, in turn, how people negotiate their roles within those institutions.

In brief

The book offers a critical examination of how expertise functions in modern life, highlighting its powers, limits, and the cultural expectations attached to credentialed knowledge.
