A groundbreaking examination of the growing inequality gap from the bestselling author of Bowling Alone: why fewer Americans today have the opportunity for upward mobility.
It’s the American dream: get a good education, work hard, buy a house, and achieve prosperity and success. This is the America we believe in—a nation of opportunity, constrained only by ability and effort. But during the last twenty-five years we have seen a disturbing “opportunity gap” emerge. Americans have always believed in equality of opportunity, the idea that all kids, regardless of their family background, should have a decent chance to improve their lot in life. Now, this central tenet of the American dream seems no longer true or at the least, much less true than it was.
Robert Putnam—about whom The Economist said, “his scholarship is wide-ranging, his intelligence luminous, his tone modest, his prose unpretentious and frequently funny”—offers a personal but also authoritative look at this new American crisis. Putnam begins with his high school class of 1959 in Port Clinton, Ohio. By and large the vast majority of those students—“our kids”—went on to lives better than those of their parents. But their children and grandchildren have had harder lives amid diminishing prospects. Putnam tells the tale of lessening opportunity through poignant life stories of rich and poor kids from cities and suburbs across the country, drawing on a formidable body of research done especially for this book.
Our Kids is a rare combination of individual testimony and rigorous evidence. Putnam provides a disturbing account of the American dream that should initiate a deep examination of the future of our country.
Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. Nationally honored as a leading humanist and a renowned scientist, he has written fourteen books and has consulted for the last four US Presidents. His research program, the Saguaro Seminar, is dedicated to fostering civic engagement in America.

评分描述和解释美国收入差距拉大的又一本书。是的,美国梦已经不再,阶级固化的力量在美国越来越严重。比较令人震惊的一点是不同阶层之间的差别在三岁就已经差不多定型,最大的影响因子是父母的教养,父母是否愿意付出时间精力教育和爱护孩子极大地影响了这个孩子的认知、学习和社交能力。

作为哈佛大学社会学教授,作者本人在1950年代的俄亥俄州小镇长大,他虽然出身普通,但成为哈佛教授。这除了他本人的努力之外,也离不开宏观的社会支持,当时的美国经济迅速扩张,蓝领和白领的相差并不是特别大,社区凝聚力丰沛,教育与社交并没有在阶级间隔离。大多数人不论出...
评分 评分这本书听了两周。比以往的速度慢了很多。原因有点神奇,在听到这本关于我们的孩子的书的一半的时候,我知道自己怀孕了。 然后n多天节奏完全打乱,每分钟都用来去接受这个消息,转换角色,应付无数不受控制冒出来的感受和想法。 应接不暇的去认识未曾了解的自己。 Putnam 是美...
