Title: Beyond Individualism
Description: Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press, 1995. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 215pp.Condition : fine & unread. The Reagan and Bush years have left us with a troublesome dilemma: how to balance our budget deficit against our social deficit. This book takes up the urgent question of how, in a time of economic crisis and constraint, we can meet the pent-up demand for spending on our nation's neglected poor, infirm, and disadvantaged, old and young. Michael Piore's ambitious response is to develop a new social theory that balances individual preferences against the claims and responsibilities of the community. By explaining the role of groups in economic and social life, this theory makes sense of a host of perplexing social phenomena and policy issues, from equal employment opportunity to international competitiveness to the decline of organized labor, from multicultural education to health insurance to the underclass.text.
