Sobre IBD

In this short book, Etzioni, the well-known and respected public intellectual and communitarian thinker, charts a middle course, or third way ’between those who are committed to shore up our liberties but blind to the needs of public security, as well as those who never met a right they are not willing to curtail to give authorities an even freer hand.’ This book will prove a useful guide for citizens looking for a thought provoking, well-reasoned and sober analysis of one of the hot button issues of our time.
