书籍简介：

From the bestselling author of Lo sing Ground and The Bell Curve , this startling long-lens view shows how America is coming apart at the seams that historically have joined our classes. In Coming Apart , Charles Murray explores the formation of American classes that are different in kind from anything we have ever known, focusing on whites as a way of driving home the fact that the trends he describes do not break along lines of race or ethnicity. Drawing on five decades of statistics and research, Coming Apart demonstrates that a new upper class and a new lower class have diverged so far in core behaviors and values that they barely recognize their underlying American kinship—divergence that has nothing to do with income inequality and that has grown during good economic times and bad. The top and bottom of white America increasingly live in different cultures, Murray argues, with the powerful upper class living in enclaves surrounded by their own kind, ignorant about life in mainstream America, and the lower class suffering from erosions of family and community life that strike at the heart of the pursuit of happiness. That divergence puts the success of the American project at risk. The evidence in Coming Apart is about white America. Its message is about all of America.

书友短评：

@ NeoCon 在充斥着法左的社会学界，这本书打五十星都不为过。真伟大。 @ Hodgepodge 就普通 @ 蛋吉吉 非常有趣。美国的阶级。跟格调有一拼。//把这本和格调比对不起这本书。。。有意思。 @ Ashley Darl 最近在读的书…教授推荐看得，说实话确实是很好 @ [已注销] 虽然有点内容有些misuse of stat，但总体非常实在。作者通过CPS，GSS等政府人口从1930年代到2000年的数据得出结论是美国将变成一个以Fishtown和Belmont为代表的上层和底层阶级不断隔离的社会。 @ 潘妮 cliche @ SimonApartlive 值得当作文献资料看，数据逻辑以及历史考证清晰。美国著名记者莫瑞记录了一系列人物报道。大量引证了上世纪下半叶美国实存的两个完全隔绝的阶级。一个是工业现代化转型后的一群上层阶级，另一个则是过去传统经济结构下的劳动者。与派克尔的《美国史新论》中阐明的阶级变化类似，二者具有相互参考价值。 @ Sans Serif 对于结论部分，有点点不能完全苟同。 @ Ashley Darl 最近在读的书…教授推荐看得，说实话确实是很好 @ 蛋吉吉 非常有趣。美国的阶级。跟格调有一拼。//把这本和格调比对不起这本书。。。有意思。
