How Modern Love Is Crushing the American Dream

PS. I know my audio is rough. Working on an upgrade for the next one! Thanks for bearing with me. IN SHORT: Dads and boys are struggling, and society has turned their backs. Moms are already taking on too much. Marriage has become a modern luxury: it's making inequality worse, and hurting economic mobility. In this video, I share learnings from the book 'The 2 Parent Privilege' by Melissa Kearney, which unpacks the economic impact of growing up with a single parent. IMPORTANT: Being a parent is hard. This video holds no judgment. It's an analysis of how factors beyond our individual control (psychology, markets, cultural norms) impact opportunity and the next generation, usually in ways that we cannot anticipate. This book changed my mind about two things: intentionally becoming a single parent, and the very really struggle men and boys are navigating.
