      abstract = {In his first book, Senator Santorum articulates the humane  vision that he believes must inform an effective and just  public policy. At the heart of genuine conservatism lies an  appreciation for the civic bonds that unite a community.  Santorum demonstrates how such an approach to political,  social, and economic problems offers the most promise for  those on the margin of life: the poor, the vulnerable, and  minorities who have often been excluded from opportunity in  America. Building on Robert Putnam's discussion of "social  capital," the habits of association and trust that are the  preconditions of any decent society, Santorum assesses how  well Americans have cared for the "fabric" of society. He  explores various dimensions of social and cultural  connection that are the foundation of the common good. And  he presents policy proposals for the renewal of American  society at all levels.--},
