The death of expertise : the campaign against established knowledge and why it matters / Tom Nichols.

Nichols, Thomas M., 1960- (author.).

Summary:

Tom Nichols shows, in The Death of Expertise, the rejection of experts has occurred for many reasons, including the openness of the internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine. Paradoxically, the increasingly democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed and angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement.
