Richard Sennett’s The Corrosion of Character: The Personal Consequences of Work in the New Capitalism is a sociology book that examines how modern work arrangements affect identity, ethics, and community. Published in the late 1990s, it responds to the shift from stable, long-term employment toward flexible, short-term, and decentralized labor. Sennett argues that this new economic order changes not only how people earn a living, but also how they relate to time, loyalty, responsibility, and one another. Drawing on interviews with workers and on historical comparison, he contrasts earlier models of organized, predictable career life with the uncertainty of contemporary capitalism. The book is neither a management manual nor a purely economic critique; it is a study of the human consequences of labor systems. Its purpose is to show that when institutions reward mobility, adaptability, and short horizons, they can weaken the habits through which character is formed and sustained.
