Why We're Polarized
by Ezra Klein
Paperback Audio CD Hardcover Kindle EditionIn "Why We're Polarized," Ezra Klein argues that American political polarization is rooted in deep cultural and psychological factors, rather than just political opinions. He explores the historical and structural forces that have contributed to this polarization, such as the rise of partisan media and the use of gerrymandering in shaping voting districts. Klein also examines how social media has exacerbated the issue, creating increasingly insular and extreme echo chambers for individuals and groups. Ultimately, Klein argues that understanding the underlying causes of polarization is necessary in order to reduce its negative effects and move toward a more functional political system.
