The Moral Center: How Progressives Can Unite America Around Our Shared Values Paperback - 2007
by David Callahan
Summary
As the 2008 presidential election nears, Americans on both the right and the left agree that America is in a moral crisis. For most citizens, though, this crisis is not about abortion, gay marriage, or the Òwar on Christmas,Ó but a growing culture of self-interest and a lack of greater purpose. Just as Americans must determine the leader that best represents our true values, America’s elected officials must look to restore our core beliefs of personal responsibility and duty to others. But we need a clear vision. In The Moral Center, now with a new introduction and updated throughout, Callahan explains how progressives and moderates can find common ground to build a new majority and a unified America.
From the publisher
From the jacket flap
"[David Callahan is] a new liberal with old values." --The New York Times
Nothing's the matter with Kansas, David Callahan argues in this forceful follow-up to The Cheating Culture Americans voting their values are responding to a real moral crisis. But the problems for most Americans are not abortion, gay marriage, or the "war on Christmas." Instead they're the fears and worries that neither party is addressing -- that selfishnessand greed arecareening out of control, that we can't protect our children from our violent and consumerist culture, that no one calls us to any greater purpose. As Republicans veer into zealotry, liberals can find common ground with moderates and build a new majority. But to alleviate the moral anxieties that help drive GOP electoral victories, they need a powerful vision.
In The Moral Center, Callahan articulates that vision as he offers an escape from the dead-end culture war. With insights garnered from in-depth research and interviews with advocates on both sides of the partisan divide, he examines some of our most polarized conflicts in seven key areas --family, sex, media, crime, work, poverty, and patriotism-- and presents unexpected solutions that lay out a new road map to a unified America.
