Critics Review

“Against the grain of much liberal thinking … Reich’s proposals would make a good starting point for a new progressive political project.” —Michael J. Sandel, The New York Times Book Review

“Very timely … Reich’s work is an important call for reform that should appeal to a wide audience disaffected with the status quo.” —Library Journal (starred review)

“Reich’s lucidly defining and empowering call for revitalized civic awareness—complete with an enticing list of recommended reading and discussion guide—is an ideal catalyst for book-group conversations.” —Booklist

“Clear-voiced and accessible.” —Publishers Weekly

“Brief but well-argued … a provocative essay.” —Kirkus
