This paper aims to address the issue of the relations between professions and markets. Within the current theoretical frameworks in sociology, to reflect on the social construction of professions implies analysing the processes which lead to the development and sedimentation of professional monopolies. It is also important to bear in mind the proposals put forward by economics, namely regarding the social and economic consequences of the privileged positions certain professional groups occupy in the labour markets. The issue gains further relevance if we take into consideration the development of new forms of regulation which tend to restrict professional monopolies.
