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.
