I thought that professionalism is another (bad) example of the reign of (neo)liberalism, aka capitalism.
During feodal times there were workers (craftsmen), rulers and slaves. In modern capitalism there are corporate rulers, corporate slaves, academic rulers, academic slaves, art rulers, art slaves and free women and men, of which a few are also artists. A reading recommendation: "The Social History of Art" by Arnold Hauser (1968), an underesteemed piece of cultural analysis heavely influenced by the thoughts of the Frankfurter Schule. Althought nearly 40 years old still valuable reading!
