"Two of America's most provocative writers on political economy argue that neither liberalism nor Marxism provides the analytic and moral framework that a vibrant democratic politics requires. The authors propose a bold new social philosophy, stressing popular accountability for all forms of power, deepened personal liberty, an end to economic dependence, and the construction of a democratic culture through autonomous democratic communities." -- Cover.
