NY, Simon & Schuster, (2000). Expanding on his 1995 Journal of Democracy essay, Putnam examines the decline in America's civic engagement and the ensuing loss of "social capital," covering both the causes and the ramifications, which include growing isolation and a concomitant loss of trust in people, in institutions, and in a democratic government. Inscribed by the author in the year of publication, apparently to married economists. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Rare signed. [#036549] $750
