A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Attention has been focused on forms of social organisation, be it civil society, democratic communitarianism, or associative democracy, that can humanise the market and the administrative state. In their new Introduction the authors relate the argument of their book both to the current realities of American society and to the growing debate about the country's future. With this new edition one of the most influential books of recent times takes on a new immediacy.
