Episode notes

The host and guest discuss the history and reasons behind the shift from multi-generational households to nuclear families, and how they are associated with the thriving middle class. They also mention the prevalence of multi-generational households during the Great Depression and trace the concept of nuclear families back to the 13th century in England.

This episode is part two of my conversation with Dr. Mauro Guillén, a Spanish-American sociologist, political economist, and management educator. I know him because he is the former dean of the Cambridge Business School. He's also a fellow at Queens College, so we share that in common too. He has built a series of research helping us look at those great trends, how they'll collide, and how they'll reshape the future of everything so that we can zoom out to get that perspective in order to zoom in and make tradeoffs that allow us to design a life that really matters.
