Ulrich Bröckling

The Entrepreneurial Self (eBook, ePUB)

Fabricating a New Type of Subject

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A seminal study from a major name in sociology. Ulrich Brockling explores how the contemporary call for entrepreneurship leads to permanent 'over-challenging', exacerbates feelings of powerlessness and generates unbounded anger. We are promised that the most capable will reap the most success, but no amount of effort can remove the risk of failure.
