Grant explores the two components of this compactthe rights and obligations of citizenshipas well as what she sees as the four substantive areas that are critical to realizing a new social compact in America. Grant proposes a new social compact that would honor the expansion of civil, political, and social rights in America and would integrate these rights within a new civic procedural ethos, clarifying our obligations to each other, future generations, other nations, and other species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane Grant takes up the vital issue of our young century: what should be the set of rights and responsibilities that we owe each other as fellow citizens? At a time of heightened worry about challenges both domestic and foreign, Grant intelligently opens up a welcome and overdue discussion. -- Jacob S. Hacker, Professor of Political Science. Yale University; co-author of “Winner-Take-All Politics” and “American Amnesia\"\u003cbr\u003eThe debate between liberalism and civic republicanism has receded to the background of political theory, but has never been resolved. In this exciting new book, Jane Grant reminds us why that debate once seemed crucial, and why we still need a political theory that can countenance both individual rights and civic responsibilities. Through careful examinations of many of the most pressing social issues of our day, Grant sets the terms for a new debate over the civic ethos of modern democracy. -- Robert B.
