<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A bestselling author draws on interviews with dismissed IBM executives bakers, a bartender turned-ad executive, and many others to call into question the terms of a new economy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <em>The Corrosion of Character</em>, Richard Sennett, among the country's most distinguished thinkers . . . has concentrated into 176 pages a profoundly affecting argument (<em>Business Week</em>) that draws on interviews with dismissed IBM executives, bakers, a bartender turned advertising executive, and many others to call into question the terms of our new economy. In his 1972 classic, <em>The Hidden Injuries of Class</em> (written with Jonathan Cobb), Sennett interviewed a man he called Enrico, a hardworking janitor whose life was structured by a union pay schedule and given meaning by his sacrifices for the future. In this new book-a #1 bestseller in Germany-Sennett explores the contemporary scene characterized by Enrico's son, Rico, whose life is more materially successful, yet whose work lacks long-term commitments or loyalties. Distinguished by Sennett's combination of broad historical and literary learning and a reporter's willingness to walk into a store or factory [and] strike up a conversation (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>), this book challenges the reader to decide whether the flexibility of modern capitalism . . . is merely a fresh form of oppression (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review). Praise for <em>The Corrosion of Character</em>: A benchmark for our time.--Daniel Bell [A]n incredibly insightful book.--William Julius Wilson [A] remarkable synthesis of acute empirical observation and serious moral reflection.--Richard Rorty [Sennett] offers abundant fresh insights . . . illuminated by his concern with people's struggle to give meaning to their lives.--[Memphis] <em>Commercial Appeal</em>
