Published two decades ago, political scientist Robert Putnam’s
bestselling book “Bowling Alone” struck a nerve with its stark
warning about loosening social and political cohesion in America.
In their new book “The Upswing”, Putnam and co-author Shaylyn
Romney Garrett offer solutions for improving civic life in a
country beset by COVID-19 and a divisive election. Putnam and
Garrett join Forum to talk about the book and share lessons from
history about how the U.S. can recover solidarity and a collective
national identity.
