In this episode of Catholic in America, host Jason Adkins interviews journalist Tim Carney about his new book, 'Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be.' They discuss the alarming decline in birth rates, the cultural and economic factors contributing to this trend, and the concept of 'civilizational sadness.' Carney argues that a return to religiosity and community support are key antidotes to creating a more family-friendly society. They explore the impact of modern parenting norms, the significance of family-friendly subcultures, and potential policy interventions to alleviate the challenges faced by modern families.
