An Anonymous Economist Ponders Income Disparities In The U.S.
From: Robin Corkery
If you are not already familiar with them, I recommend the studies of Dora L. Costa & Matthew Kahn on the decline in social capital: Understanding the Decline in Social Capital, 1952-1988 and Civic Engagement and Community Heterogeneity: An Economist’s Perspective. [PDF]
Both of them explicitly mention racial diversity as a cause of the decline in social capital over the recent generations. Though one can almost sense their apprehension in bringing up the subject, they clearly recognize multiculturalism’s corrosive effect on cohesiveness within a nation.
