<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>No sociologist now writing is able to capture and describe American manners and morals better than Alan Wolfe.--David Brooks<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What is the difference between right and wrong? What does it mean to lead a good life? How binding is the marriage vow? What are your obligations to an employer? To your friends? To yourself? Is it always immoral to tell a lie? [A]n alert and knowledgeable social critic, Alan Wolfe asked Americans around the country such questions in his intriguing exploration of our collective character, testing prevailing notions of the culture war (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>). Focusing on the traditional virtues of loyalty, honesty, self-restraint, and forgiveness, Wolfe strips away ulterior agendas to give us a look at the raw material of the American conscience (<em>New York Observer</em>) and discovers that Americans...have not so much left traditional morality behind as they have redefined it in ways that suit their individual tastes, purposes, and situations (<em>Washington Post</em>). Wolfe is right that [the search for moral freedom] is a revolution...a very American revolution.--<em>Newsweek</em>
