Reich makes the case for a generous, inclusive understanding of the American project, centering on the moral obligations of citizenship. Rooting his argument in everyday reality and common sense, Reich demonstrates the existence of a common good, and argues that it is this that defines a society or a nation. Societies and nations undergo virtuous cycles that reinforce and build the common good, as well as vicious cycles that undermine it. Over the course of the past five decades, Reich contends, America has been in a slowly accelerating vicious cycle--one that can and must be reversed. But first we need to weigh what really matters, and how we as a country should relate to honor, shame, patriotism, truth, and the meaning of leadership. Powerful, urgent, and utterly vital, this is a heartfelt missive from one of our foremost political thinkers: a fundamental statement about the purpose of society and a cri de coeur to save America's soul"--Amazon.com   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Reich Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList
