The Social Construction of Expertise is written by Gail Savage and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0822974819 (ISBN 10) and 9780822974819 (ISBN 13).

The British created a system wherein the social identity of civil servants clearly influenced their position on official matters. This privileged class set the tone for major policy decisions affecting all members of society. Savage addresses this social construction of power by analyzing the social origins and career patterns of higher-level civil servants as a backdrop for investigating the way four different social service ministries formulated policies between the two World Wars: the Board of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Labour, and the Ministry of Health.
