Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt is a work of political and social analysis by Arthur C. Brooks, a social scientist and former president of the American Enterprise Institute. Published in 2019, the book examines the emotional and institutional forces that intensify polarization in American public life. Brooks argues that the central problem is not disagreement, anger, or ideological conviction, but contempt, which treats opponents as worthless rather than merely wrong. Drawing on behavioral research, moral philosophy, religious ethics, and his experience in policy debate, he challenges the assumption that outrage is an effective route to influence or victory. The book is not a call for bland moderation or avoidance of conflict. Instead, it proposes a disciplined form of engagement in which people argue vigorously while refusing to dehumanize opponents. Its purpose is practical: to help citizens, leaders, and institutions resist a culture that rewards hostility.
