The Necessity of Politics - Reclaiming American Public Life

Summary

This text responds to the idea that American civic institutions are hard pressed, and growing cynical and disconnected from one another. It argues that restoring local institutions will not solve the problem; a civil society needs politics/government to provide a sense of shared values and ideas.
