Richard Sennett thinks differently. In this dazzling blend of personal memoir and reflective scholarship, he addresses need and social responsibility across the gulf of inequality. In the uncertain world of "flexible" social relationships, all are troubled by issues of respect: whether it is an employee stuck with insensitive management, a social worker trying to aid a resentful client, or a virtuoso artist and an accompanist aiming for a perfect duet.

Opening with a memoir of growing up in Chicago's infamous Cabrini Green housing project, Richard Sennett looks at three factors that undermine mutual respect: unequal ability, adult dependency, and degrading forms of compassion. In contrast to current welfare "reforms," Sennett proposes a welfare system based on respect for those in need. He explores how self-worth can be nurtured in an unequal society (for example, through dedication to craft); how self-esteem must be balanced with feeling for others; and how mutual respect can forge bonds across the divide of inequality.

Where erasing inequality was once the goal of social radicals, Sennett seeks a more humane meritocracy: a society that, while accepting inequalities of talent, seeks to nurture the best in all its members and to connect them strongly to one another.

Good quality, GREAT price, many features
Color: Vintage Sunflowers
I was searching for an inexpensive handbag (tote) like this in brand names. The prices were unforgiveable and just crazy! As I was searching on Amazon Prime, this handbag came up. It is really pretty and has ALL the features that I was looking for: Several pockets inside and out, very attractive design for Fall, AND a good price. My only concern/complaint would be that there are more zippers than I would have liked, slip pockets for glasses and phone are my preference. A long strap is included for shoulder wear; it is made of light weight material and washable.

This bag shocked me .. in a good way!
Color: Hibiscus in Dark Blue
I have to be honest, when I removed this tote from the packaging, I said ... Nope! Going back! .. I use it for work, I'm a property mgr of many homes-so, giant Keychain, Calender spiral book, chargers, small tools, gadgets, pens, stationary etc, etc. Immediately assumed this wasn't gonna serve me purpose.. I could not have been more wrong .. Never ending pockets, zippered compartments, plenty of room for everything. Sturdy shoulder loops and a shoulder strap as well. The print is EXACTLY as photo choice depicts and it's just a beautiful bag.
