Localism in the Mass Age

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This indispensable collection of essays brings together the most important thinkers advocating the decentralization, diffusion, devolution, and dispersal of government power. Anyone concerned about the size, scale, and scope of the current form of the nation state will find here the maturity, wisdom, and common sense necessary to cultivate virtue, prudence, modesty, and restraint. In a noisy age of ephemeral controversies, the contributors to Front Porch Republic represent plain living and high thinking.”
