This book applies Aristotle's argument - that citizenship is like friendship - to modern society. Emotional bonds often grow around shared utilities such as trade, common defense and the regime, each contributing to a (limited) form of friendship. By recognizing and understanding civic friendship, we can build on it to counteract societal polarization.
