Since the 1960s, professional social scientists have increasingly found research careers outside of traditional academic departments. In the US this process followed on the heels of an expansion of welfare state activities that extended state intervention into many new domains. Between 1965 and 1985, the proportion of social science PhDs who found academic employment slipped from 85% to 68%, indicating that the growth in number of doctorates awarded far outstripped the growth in academic faculty positions: see New York: McGraw-Hill

Although Woolgar and Latour explicitly ruled out any identification of their ‘credibility’ with Bourdieu's ‘capital’, the two concepts are quite similar in spirit, particularly if one considers Bourdieu's fragmentary writings on the scientific field. In fact, Latour and Woolgar proceed to use ‘credibility’ and ‘capital’ interchangeably, or to refer to a ‘capital of credibility’ as I have done here. Most importantly, both concepts are opposed to traditional conceptions of scientific ‘rewards’: see Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2nd edn 1979

Operations, Survey, and Administration The National Health Insurance Experiment was carried out by Rand Corporation, contracted by the Federal Government, in the 1970s. It was designed to estimate the effect of a national health insurance policy on the demand for health services. But rather than simply testing a specific intervention experimentally, it randomly assigned participants to a set of theoretically derived and carefully calibrated ‘plans’ defined by different co-payment rates and different deductibles. The result was not a test of the effect of a specific policy, but a structural model that would allow a prediction of the demand response to any policy. The Negative Income Tax Experiments, similarly, sought to estimate a ‘response surface’ for the relationship between level of benefit and labour supply, rather than the effect of a specific programme.
