«La corrosión del carácter» is the sociological essay by Richard Sennett, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The sociologist contrasts the stable work of old capitalism with the flexible labor market of the new one and analyzes how insecurity erodes trust, loyalty and commitment. He shows this with former IBM employees, a salaried father and his independent son, and two generations of a Boston bakery.
Volume 239 of the Argumentos collection, translated by Daniel Najmías Bentolilla. Original title: The Corrosion of Character.
For readers of sociology, philosophy and essays interested in how contemporary capitalism transforms identity and working life.
