He shows just how broken the American political system is. -- Rutger Bregman author of * Utopia for Realists *In this insightful book, Klein argues persuasively that the cause of [polarisation in America] is identity-the human instinct to let our group identities guide our decision making. The book is fundamentally about American politics, but its also a fascinating look at human psychology. -- Bill GatesA fascinating book, rich in politics, history, psychology and more -- David Leonhardt * New York Times *Eye-opening . . . Kleins brilliant diagnosis and prescription provide a path to understanding--and healing. * O Magazine *By weaving together a composite of group psychological theory and political history in the trademark, rigorously logical style of Voxs Explainer series, journalism, Klein traces the path of polarization from a time when the Republican and Democratic parties were virtually indistinguishable from each other to today. -- Emma Levy * Seattle Times *Why Were Polarized delivers. . . . What Klein adds especially to [is] our understanding of how we got here--why Trump is more a vessel for our division than the cause, and why his departure will not provide any magical cure. . . . A thoughtful, clear and persuasive analysis. -- Norman Ornstein * New York Times Book Review *In this thoughtful exploration of American politics, Ezra Klein challenges the conventional wisdom about why and how recently weve come apart, and suggests that the fantasy of some unified American middle is perhaps at odds with the ongoing fight for truly representational politics. Why Were Polarized makes the compelling case that the centuries-long battle to perfect our union means we were built to be split; Kleins provocative question is whether Americas democratic systems and institutions can bear up under the weight of our divides. -- Rebecca Traister * New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad *The story of this impeachment is the story of American politics today: polarization. It affects almost every aspect of American political life and has been studied by scholars from many different angles, with dozens of good historical and experimental approaches. Wouldnt it be great if someone would digest all these studies, synthesize them and produce a readable book that makes sense of it all? Ezra Klein has done just that with his compelling new work, Why Were Polarized. It is likely to become the political book of the year. . . . Powerful [and] intelligent. -- Fareed Zakaria * CNN *Well worth reading. -- Andrew Sullivan * New York Magazine *Few books are as well-matched to the moment of their publication as Ezra Kleins Why Were Polarized. . . . Kleins careful book explains how different groups of Americans can see politics through such different lenses, examining how various psychological mechanisms allow committed partisans to rationalize almost anything their party does. . . . This book fully displays the attributes that have made Kleins journalism so successful. -- Dan Hopkins * Washington Post *Few books are as well-matched to the moment of their publication -- Dan Hopkins * Washington Post * Promotional Polarisation is often invoked as proof that our societies are broken but what if its really the system working as intended?
