«The Death of Expertise» is Tom Nichols's essay published by Oxford University Press in hardcover (280 pages, in English).
Nichols explains how the excess of information makes people believe that any opinion is worth as much as expert knowledge. He points to the openness of the internet, the customer-satisfaction model in universities, and journalism turned into entertainment. Hostility towards experts, he warns, leaves democracy exposed to populism or technocracy.
The original edition was published in 2017; the 2018 edition adds a foreword on the evolution of the phenomenon after the election of Donald Trump.
Aimed at a general audience interested in politics, philosophy of knowledge, education, and media.
