Why people recommend it
The Upswing by Robert D. Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett is a sociological study that examines the historic shift in American society from an individualistic culture to a more communitarian ethos and back again over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. On an episode of The Ezra Klein Show, James Telerico recommended the book as a vital political read that charts the complex trajectory of American civic life, community engagement, and social cohesion. Additionally, Scott Mann referenced Putnam's work on The Shawn Ryan Show, drawing parallels between historical social divisions analyzed in the book's opening chapters and current cultural challenges, noting how observers might initially mistake past eras for the present day. Both podcast guests leveraged the insights of the text to diagnose contemporary political polarization and social fragmentation through a long-term historical lens. The book continues to be cited by public figures and commentators seeking to understand the structural roots of America's current civic malaise and exploring potential pathways toward renewed community solidarity and civic health.
