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\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Steven Brint offers an exhaustive, systematic, and well-executed analysis of the politics and position of professionals in American society.
