Tools to Be Free - Social Citizenship, Education, and Service in the Twenty-First Century

The ultimate justification for the social rights of citizenship is that they make us more free. This book demonstrates the civic republican grounds for this claim and proposes a large-scale service-to-school program that expands access to college as a first step towards an American social citizenship.
