Why the Modern Male is Struggling

Boys and men are struggling: in the classroom, the workplace, and in the family. Writer and scholar Richard V. Reeves joins us to expand on his new book, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It (Brookings Institution Press; September 27, 2022), where he examines this crisis and argues that helping our boys and men does not mean abandoning the ideal of gender equality. Richard is a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, where he holds the John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead Chair. He is the author of Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do about It, and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic.
