| Summary: | The working elite - whether lawyers, investment bankers, strategy consultants or auditors – is prone nowadays to particularly intensive work rates to the point of “living to work”. The artistic elite is similarly characterised by the way it commits itself “body and soul”.

It reveals that intensive commitment relies less on economic motives or passion than on professional socialisation processes that seem similar and specific to elite groups. |
