Book Description

This outstanding new book shows why communitarian thought has had such a profound influence on contemporary American public policy, from strengthening our neighborhoods to fighting AIDS and educating our children. Edited by Amitai Etzioni, founder of the Communitarian Network and author of the best-selling books The Spirit of Community and The New Golden Rule, this comprehensive collection contains essays written by the nation’s most respected thinkers. See why politicians as diverse as Vice President Al Gore and Jack Kemp view communitarian social philosophy as the most practical way of restoring America’s communities and redeeming its political institutions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

For a movement that is only a few years old, the communitarians are bursting with ideas for rebuilding what they see as the pillars of society―the family, the school, and the community. ― The San Francisco Chronicle

Communitarianism promises to shape a new political era in the way progressivism reshaped our nation a century ago. — Bill Bradley
