The book argues for a return to the concept of the common good in American society, emphasizing the importance of shared values, civic responsibility, and ethical decision-making in politics and economics to counteract the rise of individualism and divisiveness. It critiques the erosion of communal bonds and institutions, advocating for collective action and policy reforms to rebuild trust and cooperation for the benefit of all citizens.
