Favorite Quote

The failure of both Left and Right to respond to the growing problems of boys and men has created a dangerous vacuum in our political life. In the centrifugal dynamic of culture-war politics, the more the Right goes to one extreme, the more the Left must go to the other.

Introduction

There is a crisis in masculinity in the developed world. As culture wars rage, the Right inflames this crisis while the Left ignores it entirely.

Men are known for suffering in silence, and they've been doing it for a long time. How can we contain this crisis of men?

In Of Boys and Men – the Economist 2022 Book of the Year – Richard Reeves shines a light on the struggles facing boys and men from the moment they're born, through school, into work, and when they father their own children.

Reeves explains why boys are more likely to drop out of school, struggle in the workplace, and die by suicide and how we can tackle these systemic issues.
