The Corrosion of Character: The Personal Consequences of Work in the New Capitalism
本书探讨工作灵活性对个人和社会的负面影响，指出稳定性具有重要益处，并警示灵活性可能消耗我们的精力、破坏人际关系、腐蚀品格。
Workplace flexibility is the topic of Richard Sennett's new book, “The Corrosion of Character: The Personal Consequences of Work in the New Capitalism,” his latest analysis of class, work, and social relations. Sennett seeks to remind us that stability—currently so maligned by business writers and consultants--has distinct benefits for individuals and society. More important, he raises a warning flag about the costs of flexibility and the toll it can take on our energy, our relationships, and our very characters.
