| Summary |
"Rugged individualism is great for legendary heroes, but does it really shape a society that can endure for the long term? A massive social transformation is underway, driven by technology; it requires and is pushing us toward a cooperative culture. Our American competitive, individualistic culture is outmoded and increasingly ineffective. This book presents a new model of cooperation for building a cooperative American and worldwide society. True cooperation is a stranger in America. The author, an expert on medical sociology, has conducted research on social stress and cooperative solutions."--The publisher |
