Book Overview
This book is a study of both how we experience authority and how we might experience it differently. Sennett explores the bonds that rebellion against authority paradoxically establishes, showing how this paradox has been in the making since the French Revolution and how today it expresses itself in offices, in factories, and in government as well as in the family.

A seminal work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I can't say enough how much this book has been a source of insight to me. It is a serious work, but it is very well written and quite accessible.He explores in this book as he does in others, the hidden and emotional sides of social bonds. Our ambivalence about athorinty is the subject of the book. John Locke thought all we had to do was get rid of kings to be free, but Sennet and the rest of us know we are still not free. why?read this and start to at least ask some of the right questions.
