In Compromise in an Age of Party Polarization, Jennifer Wolak challenges conventional wisdom and argues that Americans value compromise as a way to resolve differences in times of partisan division. Using evidence from a variety of surveys and innovative experiments, she demonstrates that citizens want more from politics than just ideological representation--they also care about the processes by which disagreements are settled. This book stands as an important first step toward trying to reducing the extreme polarization that plagues our politics.
