Inhaltsangabe

Utopias - whether philosophical, literary, or actual experiments - are
attempts to solve all social problems. In the wake of the attack on the
World Trade Center, unfolding corporate scandals, and other devastating
shocks, it is natural to search for practical lessons in utopian
literature. In this collection noted sociologists renew the call to develop
an altruistic social order. They address a wide variety of topics as they
look for viable utopian ideas that can be applied to today's society.
Written in an engaging, jargon-free style, and directed to introductory
sociology students as well as anyone concerned with social problems, the
book provides both visionary ideals and insights for pragmatic
decision-making as we venture into an uncertain future.
