“Etzioni provides a perspective that will remain relevant and useful for years to come." —Nikolas K. Gvosdev, senior editor, The National Interest
Law in a New Key: Essays on Law and Society
A book for thoughtful readers–and not particularly lawyers or scholars of law and society–who are engaged in the issues of the day and want something other than “easy” answers from the right and left.
New Common Ground: A New America, A New World
Race, age, political affiliation, country of origin, native language—too often Americans define themselves, and are defined, by the differences that separate them. But if the 2008 presidential campaign has taught us anything, it is that we as a people want to look beyond these divisions to the values and interests that unite us. New Common Ground embodies this zeitgeist, showing the ways that traditional boundaries among ethnic groups, political ideologies, and generations are blurring, and how to hasten the process.
Security First: For a Muscular, Moral Foreign Policy
“Rarely have more profound changes in American foreign policy been called for than today,” begins Amitai Etzioni in the preface to this book. Yet Etzioni’s concern is not to lay blame for past mistakes but to address the future: What can now be done to improve U.S. relations with the rest of the world?"
The Limits of Privacy
"Etzioni can always be counted on to pose thoughtful challenges to conventional wisdom. His new book, The Limits of Privacy, which advocates a balancing approach to privacy, does not disappoint." -Alan Dershowitz
Moral Dimension: Toward A New Economics
"The Moral Dimension: Toward A New Economics is at the leading edge of social thoguht in this coutnry. It may be the most important book of the year." - John Gardner
