TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER 'This book helped me
understand modern politics better' - Bill Gates, Summer Reading
Pick 2022 'Superbly researched and written' - Francis Fukuyama, The
Washington Post 'It's been a long time since I learned so much from
one book.' - Rutger Bregman author of Utopia for Realists 'Powerful
[and] intelligent.' - Fareed Zakaria, CNN America's political
system isn't broken. The truth is scarier: it's working exactly as
designed. In Why We're Polarized, Ezra Klein reveals the structural
and psychological forces behind America's deep political divisions,
revealing how a system filled with rational, functional parts can
combine into a dysfunctional whole. 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
politicisation of everyday culture. Klein shows how and why
American politics polarised in the twentieth century, what that
polarisation did to Americans' views of the world and one another,
and how feedback loops between polarised political identities and
polarised political institutions drive the system toward crisis.
This revelatory book will change how you look at politics, and
perhaps at yourself.
