Summary "For centuries, the idea of what constitutes a good society has been contested. This book takes the debate a step further by introducing political science, sociological and economic perspectives to analyse the elements which contribute to a good society at a global and local level. It also questions what is understood by citizenship, sympathy and commitment."--BOOK JACKET
