James Talarico👍 Recommends
…recommending a political book about the shift from individualism to communitarianism
“And then the last book is the political book and it's The Upswing by Robert Putnam and his co-author, I think her name is Shailen Romney Garrett. And the book is all about how throughout the 20th century, we as a country, as a culture, moved from individualism in the Gilded Age toward communitarianism to working together to do big things as a community. And then how we fell back into individualism, which I think today is still the reigning culture in this country.”
