Recently I have read a number of other books and articles that attempt to diagnose what's wrong with this country and how we can fix it. These books also tried to explain how Donald Trump became president. Tomasky's book reviewed the political, economic and cultural history of the United States for the past 300 years. Lepore's book analyzed the political, economic and cultural history since the 15th century. I skimmed through mainly the latter parts of the book. The only point of Tomasky's 14 Point Plan to reduce polarization that I liked was to eliminate the electoral college. Seemed a good book on the 30-40% I read... aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Why has American politics fallen into such a state of horrible dysfunction? Can it ever be fixed? These are the questions that motivate Michael Tomasky's deeply original examination into the origins of our hopelessly polarized nation. "One of America's finest political commentators" (Michael J. Sandel), Tomasky ranges across centuries and disciplines to show how America has almost always had two dominant parties that are existentially, and often violently, opposed. When he turns to our current era, he does so with striking insight that will challenge readers to reexamine what they thought they knew. Finally, not content merely to diagnose these problems, Tomasky offers a provocative agenda for how we can help fix our broken political system--from ranked-choice voting and at-large congressional elections to expanding high school civics education nationwide.Combining revelatory data with trenchant analysis, Tomasky tells us how the nation broke apart and points us toward a more hopeful political future.

I was disappointed in the last chapter (recommendations for the future) but overall the book was superb. ( )
