This volume brings together many of Michael Novak's essays on "moral ecology" - the ethos that must be cultivated and preserved if liberal democratic societies are to survive. Novak argues in defence of the free and virtuous society by examining the family, welfare reform, free markets, self-government, and the American founding. The book also contains a series of intellectual studies on figures such as Jacques Maritain, St Thomas Aquinas and John Courtney Murray, along with an autobiographical essay by Novak.
