具体描述
“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.

##后面看着好捉急…
评分##废话太多了……好浪费时间噢
评分Audio version is a mistake
评分##适合作为American political polarization入门读物。跳读，理论与解释视角都是老生常谈的内容，里面的一些例子可以用于课堂教学。另外，Klein作为一个记者，能够写出这样informative的书，已经很难得了。
评分##The Ezra Klein Show的听众表示书中旁征博引非常informative，但后半部分略显拖沓，并且结尾似乎有点乐观过了头？（来自大选前夕过分关注时事的焦虑读者）
评分##“点”有点少啊，相当的啰嗦。看评论说后半比前半还要差，算了，弃读
评分##信息量好大
