The Tyranny of Experts: Blowing the Whistle on the Cult of Expertise Hardcover - 1996
by Morris E. Chafetz
From the rear cover
More than ever, we rely on "experts" to tell us how to live - from the food we eat to raising our children to making love. In The Tyranny of Experts, Dr. Morris E. Chafetz argues that many of these authorities - scientists, public interest advocates, researchers, lawyers, physicians, psychologists, social workers, and others - seek to influence America's political, social, and moral climate far beyond the bounds of their specialized knowledge. Because they cater to our fears of an out-of-control world, we remain stunningly blind to their pervasive encroachment on the quality of our private lives. By exposing the experts' sleights of hand, Dr. Chafetz restores our common-sense ability to discover answers for ourselves.
