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.

##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##倒計時一天 焦慮患者睡前（誤）讀物 比咖啡還提神 酒已備好 周三清早的會發來時就應該選edit response before sending 然後附加條件provided that we're not mourning over the death of democracy (otherwise shall we reschedule the meeting? please?)
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……
