- Title
The fall and rise of the expert.
- Authors
MORAN, JOE
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the how contemporary anxieties on expert resulted to the public understandings of market populism. It features the statement of broadcaster and writer Melvyn Bragg on people who call themselves experts who happen to know nothing. He cites the global recession in September 2008 when experts were not able to calculate the risks, and the issue of John Sergeant, a bad ballroom dancer, as one of the judges in the television show "Strictly Come Dancing."
