Newt talks with Dr. Nicholas Eberstadt, the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. They discuss the phenomenon of workforce dropouts, particularly among prime-age men in the United States, who are neither working nor seeking employment, a trend that has persisted since the mid-1960s. Their conversation also touches on the societal shifts contributing to these trends, including changes in family dynamics and the rise of technology. Dr. Eberstadt emphasizes the importance of work as a means of self-fulfillment and societal contribution. Known for his extensive work on demographic trends and economic issues, Dr. Eberstadt discusses his latest book, "America's Human Arithmetic," which examines the American condition through a series of essays written over the past 30 years.
