The notion of public good being defended emphasizes the importance of agreement on and participation in public good. .

The anthology, consisting mostly of original essays, includes authors such as Richard Rorty, Iris Young, Angela Davis, Robert McChesney, Subcommadante Marcos, Nel Nodding, Stanley Aronowitz, and Nancy Folbre.
