Summary note
"At a time when our families are disintegrating, our economy is foundering, and our government seems to be abandoning whole categories of Americans, the authors ... take a critical yet inspiring look at our institutions. Combining historical overview, individual narratives, and dramatic--even heretical--proposals for revitalizing our political, economic, educational, and religious bodies, The Good Society reminds us that we are our institutions and show us how to play an active part in them once more."-- Back cover
