Summary:

Attention to care in modern society has fallen out of view as an ethos of personal responsibility, free markets and individualism has taken hold. 'The Liberalism of Care' argues that contemporary liberalism is suffering from a crisis of care, manifest in a decaying sense of collective political responsibility for citizens' well-being and for the most vulnerable members of our communities. Political scientist Shawn C. Fraistat argues that we have lost the political language of care, which, prior the nineteenth century, was commonly used to express these dimensions of political life.
