«A Corrosão do Caráter» is the sociological essay by Richard Sennett, published by Record in paperback (204 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
Based on interviews with former IBM employees and bakers, Sennett contrasts Rico, a successful professional without lasting work commitments, with his father. He analyzes how flexible capitalism and constant reinvention erode loyalty and trust, and questions whether that flexibility is a new form of oppression.
