Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein

5.0

Ezra Klein, through this book, gives a clear assessment of the issues accelerating polarization in our country in a relatively unbiased manner. He starts off by explaining how identity forms, and explains how our identities are now forming a massive super-identity due to our political identities being now aligned with our entire worldview. He then follows up by explaining how technology and our institutions are enhancing the problem, and proposes a solution in the conclusion.

His effort in researching is clear and makes the reader feel engaged as he connect various distinct dots into a cohesive answer as to where American society is now. Great book and a pleasure to read.
