One reason American political culture has become polarized and uncivil, Mr. Kling believes, is that each side puts its contentions almost exclusively in terms of its favored language, and fails to see that contrary opinions are manifestations of a different language rather than evidence of stupidity or duplicity.
I notice that The Three Languages of Politics also has ten favorable reader reviews.
Here’s the link.
And worth mentioning again that this ebook can be “borrowed” by Amazon prime users who own a kindle at no (additional) charge, with Kling still being compensated for a sale.
Not that I imagine 2 bucks is holding anyone around here back, but readers here can point this out to people they recommend the book to.
Just bought it. Look forward to reading it.
Why can’t I buy a hard copy? They don’t even have print on demand. It’s pathetic.
Will the book be available in the foreseeable future as a Nook Book (preferable) or hard copy? I would love to read it because I think that that although the fact that progressives, conservatives, and libertarians don’t agree, the fact that they don’t understand each other and don’t even try is inexcusable. I want to convince progressives to see the light, but first I need to understand what it is that they do see. I learned in law school that the best way to win an argument is first to be able to state the opponent’s case better than he can.
More evidence how important that initial Cato lunch/discussion is to the success of a book.
I liked in on amazon.co.uk too!
