Men Without Work

Guest: Nicholas Eberstadt, Political Economist, American Enterprise Institute, author of “Men Without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis” Over the last two generations, there has been a startling rise in the number of men not working, and not looking for work. It’s a problem that has been often overlooked by the government, and its causes are complicated. Some men choose not to work, and that choice is not as socially disparaged as it was in your grandparents’ day. But there are other factors at play, and the economist Nicholas Eberstadt investigates them in his book “Men Without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis.”
