In Polarization: What Everyone Needs to Know® NolanMcCarty takes readers through what scholars know and dont know about the origins, development, and implications of our rising political conflicts, delving into social, economic, and geographic determinants ofpolarization in the United States. While the current political climate seems to suggest that extreme views are becoming more popular, McCarty also argues that, contrary to popular belief, the 2016 election was a natural outgrowth of 40 years of polarized politics, rather than a significant break with the past. He evaluates arguments over which factors that have created this state of affairs, including gerrymandered legislative districts, partisan primary nomination systems, and our privatecampaign finance system. He also considers the potential of major reforms such as instating proportional representation or ranked choice voting to remedy extreme polarization. A concise overview of acomplex and crucial topic in US politics, this book is for anyone wanting to understand how to repair the cracks in our system.
