He is the author of Alienated America, The Big Ripoff, and Obamanomics.
In FAMILY UNFRIENDLY: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be (Harper; on sale March 19th), Carney blends rigorous sociological and demographic research with timely anecdotal evidence gathered from around the country—including his own experiences as a father of six—to figure out why modern parenting has grown so misguided and what can be done to get back on track. America, he ascertains, has a family-unfriendly culture that makes parenting harder than it should be. And the problem grows from many intertwined roots: our parenting culture, our school culture, our dating and mating culture, work culture, the shape of our communities, and the individualistic and materialistic characters of our culture.
