E.J. Dionne Jr : Our Divided Political Heart

How can America hope to reach consensus on pressing issues of the day - like climate change - if political polarization and legislative logjams rule the day, and are getting worse? We'll tap into the wisdom of author and columnist for The Washington Post, E.J. Dionne Jr. His new book, Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent, contends that consensus will be impossible if a single national trait or idea dominates the unfolding American story. Dionne reminds us that the strong role of community and greater good are fundamental to our identity and history and offers solutions.
