Amatai Etzioni has been one of the most outspoken proponents of communitarianism in recent history.

This alternative is meant to compose a path between government control and extreme individual freedom. His theories were favored among neoliberals in the 1990s, and specifically gained popularity with former President Clinton, whom was partial to individualism
