Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life

Meanwhile, the authors' antidote to the American sickness―a quest for democratic community that draws on our diverse civic and religious traditions―has contributed to a vigorous scholarly and popular debate. Attention has been focused on forms of social organization, be it civil society, democratic communitarianism, or associative democracy, that can humanize 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.
