<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Social critic May asks professionals--who he calls the leaders of culture in contemporary Western society--to abandon their self-interest pursuits and contribute to the common good. Addressing professionals in eight areas, he asks readers to contribute to the common good by becoming moral exemplars and "teachers", regardless of profession.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Professionals today wield an enormous public power. Collectively, their decisions affect the patient's plight, the client's fate, the student's future, the city's scape, the Earth's sustainability, the worker's fair treatment, and the durability of institution's great and small. Yet professionals do not perceive themselves as power wielders. They feel beleaguered, marginal, insufficiently appreciated, often under siege. Thus they tend to obscure for themselves their obligation to the common good. This book explores eight professions as they struggle with their double identity--as a means to livelihood and as a common calling in the spirit of public service. An interpretation of American culture emerges from its pages, as social critic William May opens up the ways in which each profession answers to something deep in the American spirit.</p>
