We are moving beyond a natural skepticism regarding expert claims to the death of the ideal of expertise itself. This is a bad thing. If trust in experts dissipates, expertise will serve not the public interest, but the interest of whatever clique is paying its bills. And such an outcome is already perilously near.

"How America Lost Faith in Expertise" is from the March/April 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs.

I believe this should be a required listen for every adult in America, maybe a re-listen on an annual basis.
