Divided We Fall:
How Business Can Depolarize the U.S.
An Event Series with the Niskanen Center & Business for America
Deepening divisions in the United States, both politically and culturally, pose a threat to our country. The issue goes beyond a move to the right within the Republican party or to the left among Democrats, as extremism has marginalized long standing moderate political beliefs in both camps, and bipartisanship has been vilified. Our political system’s polarization and dysfunction harm our business environment and workplace culture.
Join the Niskanen Center and Business for America for this four-part webinar series to discuss the root causes of political polarization, its social and economic impacts, and what the business community can do to reduce division in their companies, in politics, and in our society.

Overcome toxic polarization at the office and across the country
At a time of deepening political and cultural divides, many Americans wonder whether anything can be done to“depolarize” our country. And the problem isn’t only on Twitter, Facebook, or Capitol Hill.
