Experts – they’re everywhere, a part of our “culture”. They tell us how to invest our money, select our wines, or interpret world events – as well as how to eat right, exercise right and live forever.

And we count on them because, well … they’re experts! So they know more than us, don’t they? Or do they? In the 2008 stock meltdown, we learned that our most important experts – our financial gurus - didn’t know anything at all. Does having expertise actually mean you make better decisions than regular people? Or are they just part of a new cult - an ever-growing expert industry that’s become our new religion?

We meet the wine experts in France, the art experts in Britain or the financial experts in the U.S…and we discover a “school” that trains tv experts!
THE TROUBLE WITH EXPERTS : you’ll never trust an expert again.
