The trademark of the book is an interdisciplinary approach, an organic combination of political economic analysis, psychological observations, cultural interpretations and philosophical reflection. The book “sounds” like a jazz improvisation on the general theme of personality in the strictly defined rhythm of “flexible” capitalism. The author reconsiders the concepts of “character”, “work”, “career”, “power”, “authority” and others, filling them with new content .The book is distinguished by its wealth of ideas, originality of approach, freshness of vision, and that is why it can be useful for those who seek to understand the essence of modern social and economic processes.
