"Disciplined Minds - A critical look at salaried professionals and the soul-battering system that shapes their lives" by Jeff Schmidt is the most important book written which does a social analysis of the professional worker and of professional training at graduate and professional schools.
Among other things, the book is a brilliant survival guide.
In these three videos (below) its author speaks at an academic freedom conference held at New York University on April 3, 2009. (Speaker introduction of Jeff Schmidt HERE.)
