Sinossi
Respect: the formation of character in an age of equality di richard sennett è un'analisi provocatoria e attuale delle forze che erodono il rispetto nella società moderna. "a differenza del cibo, il rispetto non costa nulla. Perché, allora, dovrebbe scarseggiare?" il rispetto può essere ottenuto ottenendo successo, sviluppando talenti, attraverso l'indipendenza finanziaria e aiutando gli altri. Ma, sostiene sennett, molti di coloro che non sono in grado di soddisfare le richieste della meritocrazia odierna perdono la stima che dovrebbe essere loro attribuita. Dalla sua infanzia in un povero complesso residenziale di chicago ai metodi di cura contrastanti praticati da una suora e un'assistente sociale, dall'interazione armoniosa dei musicisti al sistema di welfare, sennett esplora i modi in cui il rispetto reciproco può creare legami attraverso il divario della disuguaglianza.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Richard Sennett's Respect: The Formation of Character in an Age of Equality is a provocative and timely examination of the forces that erode respect in modern society. 'Unlike food, respect costs nothing. Why, then, should it be in short supply?' Respect can be attained by gaining success, by developing talents, through financial independence and by helping others. But, Sennett argues, many who are not able to achieve the demands of today's meritocracy lose the esteem that should be given to them. From his childhood in a poor Chicago housing project to the contrasting methods of care practised by a nun and a social worker, from the harmonious interaction of musicians to the welfare system, Sennett explores the ways in which mutual respect can forge bonds across the divide of inequality. 'One of the boldest social thinkers of his generation . [Sennett] has a genius for revealing the roots of our discontents' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Dazzling . an elegant mix of interview, anecdote and wide research' Jenny Turner, Guardian 'This is the voice of a prophet' Scott McLemee, Washington Post 'Wise and humane .
