The Slow Death of Dinner Parties in America
Original: You are no longer invited to dinner
Derek Thompson argues in a new essay that Americans have stopped hosting one another at home, with dinner parties and casual gatherings in steady decline. He links the shift to loneliness, screen time, expensive housing and a broader retreat from communal life. Readers are debating whether busy schedules or changing social norms are mostly to blame.
Why now: A widely shared essay on the decline of home hosting taps into current concerns about loneliness and the collapse of in-person social life.
