He shows how these changes affect everyday life-how the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what Sennett calls "the specter of uselessness" haunts professionals as well as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics is dissolving.In recent years, reformers of both private and public institutions have preached that flexible, global corporations provide a model of freedom for individuals, unlike the experience of fixed and static bureaucracies Max Weber once called an "iron cage." Sennett argues that, in banishing old ills, the new-economy model has created new social and emotional traumas. Only a certain kind of human being can prosper in unstable, fragmentary institutions: the culture of the new capitalism demands an ideal self oriented to the short term, focused on potential ability rather than accomplishment, willing to discount or abandon past experience. In a concluding section, Sennett examines a more durable form of self hood, and what practical initiatives could counter the pernicious effects of "reform." 410 0$aCastle lectures in ethics, politics, and economics. 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aBureaucracy 606 $aEconomic history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aBureaucracy. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a306.3/6 700 $aSennett$b Richard$f1943-$05898 702 $aSennett$b Richard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451790403321 996 $aThe culture of the new capitalism$92264654 997 $aUNINA
