Summary:
"Few people realize that raising children is the single largest industry in the United States. Yet this vital work receives little political support, and its primary workers -- parents -- labor in isolation. If they ask for help, they are made to feel inadequate; there is no centralized organization to represent their interests; and there is virtually nothing spent on research and development to help them achieve their goals. It’s almost as if parents are set up to fail -- and the result is lost opportunities that limit children’s success and make us all worse off. In 'The Parent Trap,' Nate Hilger combines cutting-edge social science research, revealing historical case studies, and on-the-ground investigation to recast parenting as the hidden crucible of inequality. Nate G. Hilger is an economist and data scientist in Silicon Valley. His work on the origins of success in children had been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post and other media outlets."
