Can We Live Together?: Equality and Difference

"Touraine's thorough mastery of modern social theory, politics, and history provides a richness and depth to the book lacking in much discussion of globalization and modernity. He is obviously a world-class thinker."--Douglas Kellner, University of California, Los Angeles"Touraine re-poses the issue of social solidarity which was so central to social thought at the end of the nineteenth century. . . . The book should be an important reference point for social and political theory in the new century." --William Outhwaite, University of Sussex
