In this first book generated by the Hoover Institution's Initiative on American Individualism and Values, the contributors reveal how, over the last several decades, public policy in the United States has weakened the institutions of civil society--institutions that play a critical role in forming and sustaining the qualities of mind and character crucial to democratic self-government.
