Resumen
DINGWALL, Robert W. J.. Professions and Social Order in a Global Society. REDIE [online]. 2004, vol.6, n.1, pp.01-18. ISSN 1607-4041.
This paper analyzes the concept of the professions departing from Adam Smith's book The wealth of nations. It discusses about the factors that affect the recognition toward different types of occupations, as well as the reasons of the inevitable emergence of professions in modern societies. Nineteen century facts of England and the United States are considered as context for the discussion toward the professions, between contemporary analysts. Finally, challenges that globalization imposes to the professions are glimpsed, considering restrictive practices that block the flexibility, essential in the European, Asian and American economies.
