Rooting his argument in common sense and everyday reality, he demonstrates that a common good constitutes the very essence of any society or nation.

The problem goes beyond banks deemed "too big to fail" to almost every large corporation in America - to pharmaceutical companies and auto manufacturers and beyond.
