The turbulence and alienation sweeping the world and reflected in election politics provokes various questions about the responsibilities of government, the development of economic justice, and the possibilities of effective citizenship.
Book Circle discussion will address such questions with the aid of "The Gardens of Democracy: A New American Story of Citizenship, the Economy, and the Role of Government", by Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer (Sasquatch Books, Seattle, 2011).
The authors suggest specific ways to engage in practical citizenship in a world of global interdependence.
All are welcome to attend and contribute to a fresh vision of democracy and social justice sustained by effective government and citizenship.
Copies of the book are available at Chaucer's Bookstore. |
