Summary
"Are we witnessing, therefore, the "death of expertise," or is the handwringing about an "assault on science" merely the hysterical reaction of threatened elites? In this new book, Gil Eyal argues that the current mistrust of experts is best understood as one more spiral in an on-going, recursive crisis of legitimacy"-- Provided by publisher.
