Description:

The Limits of Privacy provides citizens, policy-makers and legislators with four concise criteria with which to determine when the right of privacy should be preserved and when that right should be curbed for the public good. Combining social science, ethics and the law in drawing his conclusions, Etzioni closes his provocative book with an outline for a new legal doctrine of privacy. Regardless of the privacy issue we explore - whether that of our President or of our neighbor, of our medical records or of our e-mail - Etzioni's novel approach is sure to prove helpful.
