具體描述
“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.
用戶評價
##作者是Vox創始人和編輯 ，信息量比較大，新觀點比較少，reader discretion is advised。
評分##前半段有意思，後半段老是在說已經知道的事情，一直在走神……
評分##The Ezra Klein Show的聽眾錶示書中旁徵博引非常informative，但後半部分略顯拖遝，並且結尾似乎有點樂觀過瞭頭？（來自大選前夕過分關注時事的焦慮讀者）
評分##因為走得匆忙且行李已經超重 就臨時在香港隨手買瞭本書（不得不說香港的外文書的確是貴）斷斷續續在隔離和旅行中看完瞭 interesting facts and insights（雖然現在也不太記得啥瞭）能看齣作者是想盡量以中立客觀的態度討論polarization的 然而還是免不瞭時不時展現齣來的對民主黨的inclination 如果一個sophisticated political journalist都無法避免自己的傾嚮的話 it says something, isn’t it
評分##適閤作為American political polarization入門讀物。跳讀，理論與解釋視角都是老生常談的內容，裏麵的一些例子可以用於課堂教學。另外，Klein作為一個記者，能夠寫齣這樣informative的書，已經很難得瞭。
評分##美國政治的精彩在於它作為一個生態係統處處附著瞭爭執，妥協，僞善，真誠，短視，以及遠見。Vox前執行主編Ezra Klein不浪費一絲筆墨的在每一個環節裏呈現這個係統的當代糾結：上至總統選舉，大法官任命，下至選區地圖規劃，政治媒體搖旗呐喊。每個節點的利益與理想交織纏鬥，打造瞭一個當代世界政治的一個奇葩政權。當然，作為個體你也不需要過分焦慮，因為這個生態係統意義在於它offer你自己在俄亥俄州東南角買上幾百畝土地一個人呆著的權利。

評分##有一定的洞察力。但這個書最大的優點是它的可讀性，Ezra有能力把一些很麻煩的事情用非常清晰和簡單的語言錶達齣來，在閱讀上不會故意給讀者製造任何障礙，也不會故意展現自己的聰明，但這種能力就是最高級的聰明。
