Family and the Politics of Moderation

Lauren K. Hall has written the definitive study on 'social individualism.' Hall's moderation isn't just a compromise; it reflects the truth we can see with our own eyes through philosophy and science.

~Peter Lawler, Dana Professor of Government and International Studies, Berry College

With graceful prose and impressive learning, Lauren Hall makes the case for the family as the 'fulcrum' that balances the individualist and collectivist impulses of human beings and thus does justice to individual importance and the social nature of humankind.

~Daniel J. Mahoney, Augustine Chair in Distinguished Scholarship, Assumption College

...Hall's fine and revealing book describes, at a general level, the principles and contradictions in which family life dwells.
