Richard Sennett profundiza en la autocomprensión que tenemos quienes vivimos en este inicio de siglo veintiuno, con transformaciones radicales, que afectan nuestro modo de vivir cotidiano, de relacionarnos, de aprender, trabajar y amar.
En tres ensayos, Sennett explora en la evolución de las organizaciones burocráticas hacia las “empresas punteras”, en la meritocracia como desprecio del talento y apuesta por una supuesta potencialidad de las personas en el trabajo, y en el consumo en More...

Richard Sennett é um sociólogo já conhecido, por suas análises das implicações sociais advindas das mudanças no capitalismo. Veja, por exemplo, outro livro seu "A corrosão do Caráter".
Neste livro, que é uma coletânea de palestras, Sennett, retoma o tema e o revisita quase 10 anos depois, falando das mudanças recentes no capitalismo do final do século XX. Basicamente o livro tem três temas: "como as instituições vêm mudando; qual a relação do medo de se tornar supérfluo More...

I think anybody who enjoyed No Logo by Naomi Klein would enjoy this book. It is a social theory which criticises the direction 'new' capitalism is heading. It is quite clear that the author is coming at this from a socialist perspective but there are a lot of ideas worthy of consideration.
Although I felt sympathetic to a fair few of his points I did wonder whether, like Klein, he was overemphasizing the problem whilst disregarding what doesn't fit with his views. His argument suggest More...

Jeg er faktisk ret skuffet over Richard Sennetts bog. Han påpeger ganske vist nogle af kapitalismens problemer for menneskets forhold til samfundet og til sig selv, men konklusionerne og de tiltag han ønsker for at skabe forandring er dog alt for vage til, at gøre en reel forskel.
Jeg er efterhånden træt af at læse småborgerlige sociologer, der ganske vist har det rigtige fokus på de problemer kapitalismen skaber, men forfalder til pragmatiske løsningsmodeller, der i sidste ende ikke rykker noget More...

Sennett's book combines the insights of numerous critiques and defenses of the values and practices of "the cutting edge" of consulting, global finance, the tech sector, and multinationals, and delivers an extraordinarily clear analysis of what these values and practices do to the people who try to work under them, and some ideas about how the deleterious effects that result--particularly the effects of this culture on politics--can be countervailed. I wish all politicians--and all bus

A lire absolument, pour une approche critique pragmatique de ce qu'est aujourd'hui réellement le capitalisme : une culture de l'indifférence.
Ses valeurs sont analysées en termes sociologiques relativement clairs (la traduction est bonne), ce qui permet la compréhension et l'appréhension nécessaires pour toute volonté de changement véritablement progressiste (la contre-culture socialiste ?), à la fois dans le domaine économique (management, ressources humaines, consultance, syn More...

It was basically about how men can't commit anymore.
I mean...when it comes to business. Like for reals. School is exciting.
