Head, hand, heart : why intelligence is over-rewarded, manual workers matter, and caregivers deserve more respect / David Goodhart. by Goodhart, David, author.

Requests:  0 Summary:  The coronavirus pandemic revealed what we ought to have already known: that nurses, caregivers, supermarket workers, delivery drivers, cleaners, and so many others are essential. Until recently, this work was largely regarded as menial by the same society that now lauds them as heroes. How did we get here? In his groundbreaking follow-up to the bestselling The Road to Somewhere, David Goodhart divides society into people who work with their Heads (cognitive work), with their Hands (manual work), or with their Hearts (caring work), and considers each group's changing status and influence. Today, the "the best and the brightest" trump the "decent and hardworking." Qualities like character, compassion, craft, and physical labor command far less respect in our workforce. This imbalance has led to the disaffection and alienation of millions of people. David Goodhart reveals the untold history behind this disparity and outlines the challenges we face as a result. Cognitive ability has become the gold standard of human esteem, and those in the cognitive class now shape society largely in their own interest. To put it bluntly: smart people have become too powerful. A healthy democratic society respects and rewards a broad range of achievement, and provides meaning and value for people who cannot--or do not want to--achieve in the classroom and professional career market. We must shift our thinking to see all workers as essential, and not just during crises like the coronavirus pandemic. This is the dramatic story of the struggle for status and dignity in the 21st century. -- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.36 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
