Description

Richard Reeves of the hated Brookings Institution joins the Remnant for the first time to discuss his new book, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It. In a moment where the family unit is collapsing, gender differences in education are becoming more pronounced, and large numbers of men are withdrawing entirely from the workforce, it’s vital to explore what’s driving these trends and whether they can be reversed. Why is fatherhood important? What defines true masculinity? And how have young men changed psychologically in recent years?Show Notes:- The Remnant (on rats!) with Dr. Michael Parsons- Richard’s page at Brookings - Richard’s new book, Of Boys and Men- Richard: “No, the Boys Are Not Doing Just Fine”- Richard: “Why Boys Should Start School a Year Later Than Girls”- The Remnant with Nick Eberstadt- Jonathan Haidt: “Facebook’s Dangerous Experiment on Teen Girls”- Richard joins Coleman Hughes’ podcast- Richard and Jonathan Haidt’s illustrated guide to John Stuart Mill- The Remnant with Brent Orrell- “The Tenuous Attachments of Working-Class Men”- Daniel Cox: “American Men Suffer a Friendship Recession”- Jonah: “The Descent of Men”

In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg, the founder and editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, syndicated columnist, best-selling author, and AEI/NRI Fellow enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day and of all-time. Is Western Civilization doomed? Is nationalism the wave of the future? Is the Pope Catholic? Will they ever find a new place to put cheese on a pizza? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Who is hotter: Ginger or Mary-Ann? Was Plato really endorsing the Republic as the ideal state? Mixing history, pop culture, rank-punditry, political philosophy, and, at times, shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conversations we wish they had on cable-TV shout shows. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful.
