US society is fraying at the seams. We need to think about our 'civic infrastructure' | Jan-Werner Müller

It is true that two cliches central to our political language today â âresilienceâ and, indeed, âinfrastructureâ â have often covered up a lack of real public policy justifications. But the fact is that Bidenâs plan is in one sense not ambitious enough: it does not address the countryâs decaying civic infrastructure.
Infrastructure is about connecting people; it enables us to reach others and be reached by them. Roads, but also the post office, are paradigmatic examples. The culture war rhetoric of Republicans has made it sound as if the main problem of those âleft behindâ is the condescension of supposedly liberal-cosmopolitan-bicoastal elites who have nothing else to do than sneering at âreal Americansâ.

Higher ed can help repair the fractures in our democracy. Really, it can.
First off, let’s acknowledge the obvious: It’s hard not to feel depressed and scared about the future of American democracy right now.
Nonetheless, I found myself oddly comforted last Friday when I picked up Our Common Purpose: Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century. Published in June by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, it offers a sober account of the racial, economic, social, and political divisions racking our nation. For me, reading it just 48 hours after the violent siege of the U.S. Capitol (words I can still hardly believe I’m writing), was also a bit of a tonic.
