Why We're Polarized

Book • 2020

In 'Why We're Polarized,' Ezra Klein argues that America’s political system is polarizing due to the merging of partisan identities with racial, religious, geographic, ideological, and cultural identities.

The book explores how these merged identities have led to a dysfunctional political system and traces the feedback loops between polarized political identities and institutions.

Klein also discusses the role of media and psychological factors in exacerbating polarization, providing a comprehensive analysis of the current state of American politics.
