My wife and I are planning a trip to Greece and Istanbul next summer. This book is perfect if you are planning to make that journey. So many things that I would’ve missed I will now see because of Dr. Hale’s insights.

Respected conservative journalist and commentator Timothy P. Carney continues the conversation begun with Hillbilly Elegy and the classic Bowling Alone in this hard-hitting analysis that identifies the true factor behind the decline of the American dream: It is not purely the result of economics as the left claims, but the collapse of the institutions that made us successful, including marriage, church, and civic life.

This is one of the most entertaining, insightful and interesting books I have encountered in the last decade. It is based not on conjecture but on careful analysis and pain-staking research and interviews. Through this, it brings us face to face with the deepest challenges facing our culture, the challenge of love grown cold and alienation in substantial portions of our country. What’s more, it proposes difficult yet attainable solutions that those, on the right and left, minded to see a more civil and flourishing society can and should devote themselves to. I leave it feeling reminded, hopeful, and pressed to devote myself to the love of my neighbor. Thank you Timothy Carney (and Charles Constant).
