Katie Porter Pod Save America · Dec 2018 Why people recommend it
Our Kids by Robert D. Putnam is a sociological study that examines the growing opportunity gap for children in America driven by widening economic inequality and the decline of traditional community structures. On The Book Review, G. Beckerman mentioned the book as part of a discussion regarding Francis Fukuyama's recent reading list, while Greg Coles detailed how the author analyzes the specific effects of income inequality on children and the resulting disparity in life opportunities. On Pod Save America, Katie Porter cited the book as a powerful influence on her thinking, using Putnam's sociological research to discuss how the American mindset regarding collective responsibility and community has narrowed significantly across generations compared to earlier decades. Reviewers and commentators frequently point to the work as a crucial exploration of the shrinking social safety net and the erosion of civic institutions that once supported working-class families.
