bo_manson's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
4.0
The author explores the role of professions in today's world and he choses some occupations for comparison such as medical, legal and accounting in countries particularly the US, the UK, France and several other places ranging from 19th century to 20th century. The author continues explaining that professions will have challenges; jurisdiction boundaries will be disputed, competitors and many others and how all these factors shaped them over time. As a layman who stumble upon the book, I must say it's quite a hard work to read and digest because it was written in an academic style but I do get the gist of it and somewhat able to relate with my worklife.
