About this ebook
The Ordinary Virtues: by Michael Ignatieff | Conversation Starters
Moral philosopher Michael Ignatieff goes around the globe with a question in mind -- “Is globalization drawing us together morally?” This question takes him to New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Bosnia, Myanmar, Fukushima, and South Africa. He looks into the local realities of communities in these areas to see how the people are dealing with the stresses that globalization has brought into their lives. What answers does he find?
