Beskrivning
In Uniting America, some of the country’s most prominent social thinkers—among them Francis Fukuyama, Daniel Yankelovich, Amitai Etzioni, Alan Wolfe, Uwe Reinhardt, and Thomas E. Mann—reject the myth of polarization. On topics ranging from the war on terrorism, health care, economic policy, and Social Security to religion, diversity, and immigration, the authors argue that there are sensible, centrist solutions that are more in keeping with prevailing public sentiment and that would better serve the national interest. On issue after issue, the authors show how the conventional framing of the debate in Washington has misled Americans, creating a series of false dilemmas and forcing choices between two extremes—at the expense of more balanced and pragmatic policy solutions based on enduring American values.Uniting America provides a blueprint for a fresh approach to American politics, grounded in moderation, pragmatism, and the shared values that unite Americans.

These essays from the thoughtful center help us to understand the sources of this democratic challenge, and also help to provide a remedy. A welcome and illuminating collection."—Jeffrey Rosen, author of The Unwanted Gaze and The Naked Crowd "Americans tired of both Republican and Democratic bromides will find much to think about in this collection of centrist thinking."—Morris P. Fiorina, author of Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America
