BEYOND A HOUSE DIVIDED(ISBN=9780307887740) 英文原版 阿里云 kindle chm umd 极速 pdf txt 下载

If you follow politics or the news, America is a country of

culture wars and great divides, a partisan place of red states and

blue states, of us against them. From pundits to politicians it

seems that anyone with an audience sees a polarized country - a

country at war with itself.

In a radical departure from this "conventional wisdom," Carl

Anderson explores what the talking heads have missed: an

overwhelming American consensus on many of the country's seemingly

most divisive issues. If the debates are shrill in public, he says,

there is a quiet consensus in private - one that America's

institutions ignore at their peril. From health care, to the role

of religion in America, to abortion, to the importance of

traditional ethics in business and society, Anderson uses fresh

polling data and keen insight in BEYOND A HOUSE DIVIDEDto

show that a surprising consensus has emerged despite these debates.

He sheds light on what's been missing in the public and political

debates of the last several years: the consensus that isn't hard to

find if you know where to look.

For Anderson, allowing polar opposites to drive the discussion has

made the resolution of contentious issues impossible. Instead, he

says, we should look to the consensus among Americans as the best

prospect for a beneficial conclusion.

媒体评论

“Anderson, head of the Catholic fraternal organization Knights

of Columbus, argues in this slender book—the publication of which

coincides with the 2010 elections—that Americans have a “moral

consensus” on key social issues that goes unrecognized amid

politically partisan gridlock. Using polling data gathered by the

Marist College Institute of Public Opinion as well as other

surveys, Anderson highlights positions and values that significant

numbers of Americans support… This book is too small to make a

completely persuasive argument, but its findings deserve further

examination and discussion.” –
