- Summary:
- US society today is widely seen as being split into constituencies which have sequestered themselves in two or more silos, with policy discussion between them having become impossible. The treatise of this book is that denizens of the United States need not be confined in silos but, rather, that major economic policies - drugs, alcohol, and suicide; schooling; major economic issues; infrastructure, urban and regional policy; and the environment - have powerful impacts on many members of each of these silos.
