CRV 237

KMO and permacultural civic engineer, Christopher Harrison, compare the visions of Tyler Cowen, author of The Complacent Class, and Bill Bishop, author of The Big Sort. Cowen thinks that Americans have grown too risk averse, and Bishop details the drawbacks of our having physically sorted ourselves into ideologically homogenous communities. The cover art is taken from Colin Woodard's book American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America.
