Overall, this is one of the most thought-provoking books that I have read on our modern business-created society and the individual's place within this society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eR. Joseph Monsen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Washington\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a very good book indeed. . .Schneider has managed to choose most of the basic issues confronting our political order: these are the issues people ought to be thinking about. He has also managed to infuse each one with a high ethical content---something quite rare in the ordinary approach to these topics. The result is a serious, informed discussion that often achieves the level of what in olden times was honorably known as 'practical philosophy.' . . . There is an inarticulate demand for just this sort of thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarvey Wheeler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCenter for the Study of Democratic Institutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book reflects the author's unusual breadth of interest and reading, and his uncommon ability to synthesize. His topic is significant. . . . He also shows insight into some complex and important problems. I was especially impressed by his reflections on the notion of community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRaymond Baumhart, S.
