Melissa Kearney, Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, Director of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group, and author of The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Melissa discuss how declining marriage rates are driving many of the country’s biggest economic problems, why there is a growing marriage-gap between college-educated and non-college-educated Americans, the origins of the marriage decline, who shouldn't get married, and whether governmental support can alleviate the disadvantages of growing up in a single-parent household.
