Description: "This comprehensive 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, this anthology contains essays written by the nation's most respected thinkers, including Robert Bellah, Mary Ann Glendon, Benjamin Barber, Senator Bill Bradley, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and many others. 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."--BOOK JACKET.
