Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our CountryUniversity of Chicago Press, 15 Jun 2010 - 232 halaman America is a wonderful and magnificent country that affords its citizens the broadest freedoms and the greatest prosperity in the world.

It continues to ravage the natural environment and ignore poverty both at home and abroad, and its culture is increasingly driven by materialism and consumerism. But America, for better or for worse, is still a nation that we have built. So why then, asks Albert Borgmann in this most timely and urgent work, are we failing to take responsibility for it? |
