Why are we so polarized?
In our book-- Why We're Polarized, the superbly researched and timely New York Times bestseller-- Washington post journalist Ezra Klein explains how “The American political system—from voters to journalists to the president—is full of rational actors making rational decisions given the incentives they face—but…this collection of functional parts combine into a dysfunctional whole.”
He describes and analyzes the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction and offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture.
