Sean Illing talks with Nate Hilger, economist, data scientist, and author of
the new book The Parent Trap: How to Stop Overloading Parents and Fix Our
Inequality Crisis. The book explores what is expected of parents, and how a
larger public investment in families and children beyond K-12 education could
address inequality in America. Sean and Nate discuss parenting, the difference
between caring and skill building, the pressure on parents to do it all, and
the economic consequences that arise when they can’t. Host: Sean Illing
