商品簡介
Economic and ecological collapse, devastating wars, authoritarianism, and other global calamities threaten the world but can be avoided, argues Bruyn (sociology, Boston College), by the institution of "a society of federations that develops--by design and with government support--from local to global levels to bring core human values into the economy and the nation." Calling this concept a "civil republic," he outlines how the US can implement such a vision through integrating government, business, and civil society by creating accreditation systems for industry and civil commissions that link associations in business and civil society, building a civil polity in the life of markets, and developing world law.
