Living with people who differ - racially, ethnically, religiously, or economically - is one of the most urgent challenges facing civil society today. Together argues that co-operation needs more than good will; it is a craft that requires skill.

From Medieval guilds to today's social networks, Richard Sennett's visionary book explores the nature of co-operation, why it has become weak, and how it can be strengthened.
