Men without work, with Nick Eberstadt

Work is essential for upward mobility, stability, and overall well-being. Yet for millions of men across the United States, work is increasingly absent from daily life. What’s behind this trend, and how does it impact society? On this episode, Defending Ideas contributor and AEI Senior Fellow Beth Akers joins host Nic Dunn for a conversation with Nick Eberstadt, author of the book Men Without Work. Nick also holds the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at AEI. They explore the troubling reality that millions of working-age men in America are no longer working or looking for a job, and discuss how it impacts society as a whole.
