Description
From the bestselling author of Saving Capitalism and The Work of Nations, a passionate, clear-eyed manifesto for re-centering our economics and politics on the idea of the common good.
Robert B. Reich makes a powerful case for the expansion of America's moral imagination. Rooting his argument in common sense and everyday reality, he demonstrates that a common good constitutes the very essence of any society or nation. Societies, he says, undergo virtuous cycles that reinforce the common good as well as vicious cycles that undermine it, one of which America has been experiencing for the past five decades.
This process can and must be reversed. But first, we need to weigh the moral obligations of citizenship and carefully consider how we relate to honour, 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.
