Ringkasan :
"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 Ameri- ca'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 fore st, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

These merged identities have attained a weight that is breaking much in our politics and tearing at the bonds that hold this country together.
