Plt;BPgt;From the bestselling author of Plt;/BPgt;Plt;BPgt;Plt;IPgt;Saving CapitalismPlt;/IPgt;Plt;/BPgt;Plt;BPgt; and Plt;/BPgt;Plt;BPgt;Plt;IPgt;The Work of NationsPlt;/IPgt;Plt;/BPgt;Plt;BPgt;, a passionate, clear-eyed manifesto for recentering our economics and politics on the idea of the common good.Plt;/BPgt;

Robert B. Reich makes a powerful case for the expansion of AmericaP#8217;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 honor, shame, patriotism, truth, and the meaning of leadership.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt; Powerful, urgent, and utterly vital, this is a heartfelt missive from one of our foremost political thinkers.

Industry Reviews

"Against the grain of much liberal thinking . . . Reich's proposals would make a good starting point for a new progressive political project." --Michael J. Sandel, The New York Times Book Review

"Very timely . . . Reich's work is an important call for reform that should appeal to a wide audience disaffected with the status quo." --Library Journal (starred review)

"Reich's lucidly defining and empowering call for revitalized civic awareness--complete with an enticing list of recommended reading and discussion guide--is an ideal catalyst for book-group conversations." --Booklist

"Clear-voiced and accessible." --Publishers Weekly

"Brief but well-argued . . . a provocative essay." --Kirkus
