Review:
"What we need is not the philosophical elaboration of ideas about respect but an imaginative sociological exploration of respect-threatening and respect-enhancing situations. This is what Richard Sennett does well, and RESPECT [IN A WORLD OF INEQUALITY] is at its best when it blends personal narrative and moral rumination."
Alan Ryan, New York Review of Books, 02/27/2003

Respect: the Formation of Character in a World of Inequality (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780393051261) Sennett, Richard Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: WW Norton Co, United States, 2003. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 216 x 146 mm. Brand New Book. In "Respect," distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett explores the need for respect -- and the consequences of disrespect -- in a highly competitive and interdependent society.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.
