In this dazzling blend of personal memoir and reflective scholarship, Sennett addresses need and social responsibility across the gulf of inequality.
Opening with a memoir of growing up in Chicago's infamous Cabrini Green housing project, he 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.
