Drawing on vast new data that reveal Americans' changing behavior, Putnam shows how we have become increasingly disconnected from one another and how social structures - whether they be PTA, church, or political parties - have disintegrated. Until the publication of this groundbreaking work, no one had so deftly diagnosed the harm that these broken bonds have wreaked on our physical and civic health, nor had anyone exalted their fundamental power in creating a society that is happy, healthy, and safe.

Make note of copyright date
Revisado: 11-10-23
Full disclosure, I didn't finish the title.
Hopefully everyone else is smarter than I am and made note of the copyright date, as opposed to the publication date of the audiobook. While the content is revised and updated since its initial publication, even the revisions are 20 years old at this point. Some of the information and analysis is timeless, but much of it is too far out of date to be as meaningful as I'd wanted. We've seen the Great Recession and the rise and transformation of the Tea Party since this was updated, social and political life is simply not the same as it was.
That being said, I enjoyed the first chapter and found that the author made a reasonably successful attempt to be thorough and objective in his collection and presentation of data. I would love to read this book updated for the 20s.
