Delving deep into the latest management texts informing the thinking of employers, the authors trace the contours of a new spirit of capitalism. They argue that beginning in the mid-1970s, capitalism abandoned the hierarchical Fordist work structure and developed a new network-based form of organization founded on employee initiative and autonomy in the workplace--a putative freedom bought at the cost of material and psychological security. This was a spirit in tune with the libertarian and romantic currents of the period (as epitomized by dressed-down, cool capitalists such as Bill Gates and Ben and Jerry) and, as the authors argue, a more successful, pernicious, and subtle form of exploitation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this new edition, the authors reflect on the reception of the book and the debates it has stimulated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luc Boltanski, Eve Chiapello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786633256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786633255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.90d","brand":"Luc Boltanski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047150022911,"sku":"9781786633255","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3ecebe7-3da1-470c-bec2-71631d5408a9.jpg?v=1684988550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-spirit-of-capitalism-luc-boltanski-9781786633255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
