In 1996, Robert Putnam blamed the decline in American democracy on the loss of “social capital” amongst American citizens. Based on what you know about American society and what you’ve learned in the class, do you think social capital is a sufficient explanation for democratic deconsolidation in the US? Has American social capital eroded wholesale, or has it merely changed form? If social capital does not sufficiently explain the decline of democracy in the US, what other factors might be more helpful in explaining this phenomenon? Note that regardless of your perspective, your essay should discuss the benefits/drawbacks of a social capital-based explanation for driving political change in the US. Also, be sure to include references to specific readings and examples/course information in your response.
