Crisis of the Common Good

by Chris Murphy

Farrar, Straus and Giroux · 2026 · 304 pages

Senator Chris Murphy argues that America's current anxieties stem from a widespread erosion of community and shared purpose, driven by six destructive "cults" that prioritize profit, technology, and individual gain over collective well-being. He traces how this shift has left citizens feeling disconnected and adrift, creating fertile ground for political division. Murphy offers a hopeful path forward, advocating for a renewed focus on the common good through policies that empower workers, regulate technology, and restore civic connection, suggesting this approach can unite a fractured nation.
