Description
"In this analysis of the rise of the professional class in America, Donald Clark Hodges reveals that under the cover of mature capitalism, the United States has taken on the characteristics of two of its avowed political nemeses: socialism and fascism.". "Class Politics in the Information Age uncovers the origins, development, aims, means, and moral and political hypocrisy of the new class of professionals. In line with a broad consensus that expertise has replaced capital as the decisive asset in the informational economy, Hodges asserts that professionals have replaced capitalists as the premier exploiting class. The dictatorship of the proletariat predicted by Marx is, the United States, a dictatorship of experts."--BOOK JACKET.
