The Need for a Civic Renaissance

“America throughout its history has been exceptionally civic-minded. However, we now see a public that is withdrawing from communal life, choosing to live alone and play alone. We are becoming mere observers of our collective destiny. A civic renaissance is a proven possibility and the future well-being of our nation depends on it.”

Robert Putnam, author of the books Bowling Alone and Better Together
