“The American political system—which includes everyone from voters to journalists to the president—is full of rational actors making rational decisions given the incentives they face,” writes political analyst Ezra Klein. “We are a collection of functional parts whose efforts combine into a dysfunctional whole.”
In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture.
America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics. Over the past fifty years in America, our partisan identities have merged with our racial, religious, geographic, ideological, and cultural identities. These merged identities have attained a weight that is breaking much in our politics and tearing at the bonds that hold this country together.
Klein shows how and why American politics polarized around identity in the twentieth century, and what that polarization did to the way we see the world and one another. And he traces the feedback loops between polarized political identities and polarized political institutions that are driving our system toward crisis.
This is a revelatory book that will change how you look at politics, and perhaps at yourself.
美国政治的精彩在于它作为一个生态系统处处附着了争执,妥协,伪善,真诚,短视,以及远见。Vox前执行主编Ezra Klein不浪费一丝笔墨的在每一个环节里呈现这个系统的当代纠结:上至总统选举,大法官任命,下至选区地图规划,政治媒体摇旗呐喊。每个节点的利益与理想交织缠斗,打造了一个当代世界政治的一个奇葩政权。当然,作为个体你也不需要过分焦虑,因为这个生态系统意义在于它offer你自己在俄亥俄州东南角买上几百亩土地一个人呆着的权利。
