"Alan Wolfe has written a cogent, interesting, often lively book. HIs grasp of the social sciences is impressive, as is the sweep of his interests."—Peter L. Berger, New York Times Book Review
"Wolfe's provocative survey of the breakdown of civil society spares neither right-wing champions of 'economic freedom' nor left-liberal advocates of an expanded welfare state. . . . [ Whose Keeper?] presents a compelling argument with passion and clarity."—Michael Kazin, Washington Post
"Wolfe has accomplished a minor miracle. He has written a book that offers genuinely fresh insights into the ever more intractable dilemmas of modernity."—Jean Bethke Elshtain, Commonweal
"This is one of the most important books in years, disturbing in the best sense of the word and fascinating even when I disagreed with it."—Michael Harrington, author of The Other America
"By showing that the social sciences provide the operative moral philosophies of modern societies, Wolfe gives us a new understanding of the fundamental predicaments of modernity. His contrast between the moral logics of the market in the United States and of the welfare state in Scandinavia is particularly brilliant."—Robert Bellah, coauthor of Habits of the Heart
