This week we sit down with noted author and political scientist Robert Putnam. We discuss why community is now more essential than ever both for the survival of democracy and for our very survival as a species. We also debate whether social media diminishes our social capital, and why more people bowl in America than vote. (Hint: if more people bowled America would be more united).
