At a time when solidarity and bipartisan unity were sorely needed, Americans came to see the pandemic in partisan terms, adopting behaviours and attitudes that continue to divide us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book draws on a wealth of new data on public opinion to show how pandemic politics has touched all aspects of our lives—from the economy to race and immigration—and puts America's COVID-19 response in global perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn in-depth account of a uniquely American tragedy, \u003ci\u003ePandemic Politics\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the politicisation of the COVID-19 pandemic has profound and troubling implications for public health and the future of democracy itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849661272300,"sku":"9780691218991","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2177053482434.jpg?v=1759058730"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/thomas-b-pepinsky.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
