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.
清晰,清醒,亲切,有力。教育机会的缺失背后是社会流动性的(可能不可逆转的)丧失。怎么让别人家的孩子重新变成“我们的孩子”,这是帕特南的天问。
评分很有启发
评分我觉得最重要的是得让孩子们明白“希望是什么”以及“什么是希望”——翻身的路千万条,但路径终究会收敛到两只手数出来——你是谁的精子,你有谁的精子,你有多少金子

评分2.5星吧,优点是说的都是大实话、有案例而不是干巴巴、最后努力给建议,缺点是忽略了国际国内政经大背景、社会价值观和政经体制缺陷、以及干货太少都是废话
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...
评分纵观《我们的孩子》,这本书不因深入细节而不见形体与整体框架,同时也不因它的格局之大而流于表面没有深入。所谓大象无形,包罗万象。这本书对于教育领域或许是意义非凡的,在往往聚焦单个问题深入探究的教育学专著中,《我们的孩子》宕开一笔,提供了一个整理教育问题分支的...
