Story

I liked all about it. The author links very well his ideas to real life observations and experiment held by scientists. Good narration too.

Story
Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. It is listenable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

Good book
Reviewed: 12-19-23
I liked how the writer approaches the difference between different types of discrimination and how he constantly comes back to his definition during the story. It's not a book to come with a proposal for a solution, but then again the first step is to ask the correct questions and the book delivers a good road of thinking to approach such sensitive issues.

Story
Boys are falling behind at school and college because the educational system is structed in ways that put them at a disadvantage. Men are struggling in the labour market because of an economic shift away from traditionally male jobs. And fathers are dislocated because the cultural role of family provider has been hollowed out. The male malaise is not the result of a mass psychological breakdown, but of deep structural challenges. Structural challenges require structural solutions, and this is what Richard V. Reeves proposes in Of Boys and Men.

This book comes to address the challange of avoiding your boys to become “red pill” and to avoid your girls to develop a fear/hate towards men. Excellent book.
