Betrayal as case of disrespect...

The lessons of Sennett's Respect in the World of Inequality were applied by the author primarily to welfare and social services, but their relevance is obviously more wide ranging. A case in point is the treatment of Iraqis who have worked or are working for the US or its contractors -- the subject of an article ("Betrayed") by George Packer in the current New Yorker. He is also the guest on the March 22 Fresh Air broadcast. Tags: Richard Sennett, George Packer, Iraq, Fresh Air, NPR, Terry Gross, New Yorker, accountabilitybloke, Mel Dubnick
