专业工作正受到三种不同但相关的力量的攻击，这些力量超越了简单的分类；市场原教旨主义，认为不受约束和不受管制的自由市场将以更低的价格提供更高质量的专业服务的坚定信念，全球化和容易获得的信息的传播导致的文化分裂，以及学术左派对现代主义科学计划的批评所反映的后现代怀疑主义。市场原教旨主义和后现代怀疑主义都对将专业实践机构与广泛持有的社会价值观和普遍福祉联系起来的专业尝试持怀疑态度，并且在他们以捍卫共同利益的名义攻击集体行动的政治计划之间存在智力上的亲近感。这两家公司都没有为普通消费者和客户提供一个实用的程序，让他们在一个支离破碎、信息密集、充满威胁的世界中导航。作为风险社会中的风险管理者，作为值得信赖的信息解释者，作为价值观和意识形态的体现者，作为制度的体现者和制度变革的推动者，在应对这些威胁时行使代理权的专业人员有许多可用的回应。专业团体有效构建这些反应的能力并不完全在他们的控制之下，而是部分取决于适应文化多样性和碎片化的能力，以及他们强调不受约束的全球化市场竞争的非历史和文化破坏性影响的能力。谁也不能保证，反乌托邦的未来会对专业工作的未来以及依赖这些工作的客户和消费者构成威胁。
Professional work is being attacked by three separate but related forces that transcend easy categorization; market fundamentalism, the rigid belief that unfettered and unregulated free markets will deliver higher quality professional services at lower prices, cultural fragmentation resulting from globalization and the spread of easily available information, and post-modern skepticism reflected in criticisms of modernist scientific programs emanating from the academic left. Both market fundamentalism and post-modern skepticism look askance at professional attempts to tie the institutions of professional practice to widely held societal values and general well-being, and there is an intellectual affinity between their political programs that attack collective action in the name of championing the common good. Neither one has a practical program for average consumers and clients to navigate a fragmented, information-intensive, and threatening world. Professionals who exercise agency in response to these threats have a number of responses available to them as risk managers in a risk society, as trusted interpreters of information, as embodiments of values and ideology, and as embodiments of institutions and promoters of institutional change. The ability of professional groups to effectively construct these responses is not completely in their control but partly rests on the ability to adapt to cultural diversity and fragmentation and their ability to highlight the ahistorical and culturally damaging effects of unfettered globalized market competition. There are no guarantees dystopian futures pose a danger to the future of professional work and the clients and consumers who depend on them.
