The culture of public service, present among the elite of high-rank civil servants, and the principle of neutrality within Whitehall maintain a certain distance from the expertise provided by external policy institutes. The centralisation of policymaking provides only some opportunity windows to advocacy research entities, while the possibilities of direct access to the state are limited, even if the UK, like the USA, has become a competitive market for ideas. The creation of agencies, think tanks and other research institutes has deeply restructured the landscape of academic knowledge production, while academics have been strongly subjected to a narrow regime of quality assessment.
In addition to an epistemic dimension which profoundly restructures the production of knowledge, as illustrated in the first part of the book, the new spirit of capitalism is based on a moral dimension transforming conceptions of the common good to which the academic tradition was previously linked. The academic is required to reinvent himself or herself, by liberating his or her mind in order to become an expert or an entrepreneur and to fit within new trials structuring his or her existence and relationships with others.
