Book: Bowling Alone – The Collapse and Revival of American Community
Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert D. Putnam. Based on vast data, Putnam shows how we have become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and our democratic structures– and how we may reconnect. Putnam warns that our stock of social capital – the very fabric of our connections with each other, has plummeted, impoverishing our lives and communities.
