E114: Why Our Future Depends On Parents w/ Melissa Kearney

Episode Summary

Today I sit down with Melissa Kearney, professor of Economics and author of Two Parent Privilege, to discuss the privileges attached to coming from households with two married parents. As the world blames a myriad of issues as the cause of the mess of our culture, Melissa Kearney believes that the most foundational problem lies in the way our society values the stability of family life. We discuss the eye-opening statistics of the differences in outcomes between those who come from intact families and those who don’t, what our government should do to encourage stable marriages, how our communities should support those in tough economic circumstances, and more.
