Profound economic and social changes of recent decades have many losing ground in the classroom, the workplace, and in the family. While the lives of women have changed, the lives of many men have remained the same or even worsened. According to Richard V. Reeves, our attitudes, our institutions, and our laws have failed to keep up. Conservative and progressive politicians, mired in their own ideological warfare, fail to provide thoughtful solutions. The father of three sons, a journalist, and a Brookings Institution scholar, Reeves has spent 25 years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men (Brookings Institution Press, 2022), tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. In an in-person event hosted by CSDE and the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance, Reeves will discuss his new book with Scott Allard.
Richard V. Reeves is a senior fellow in Economic Studies, where he holds the John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead Chair and leads the Boys and Men Project. His research focuses on boys and men, inequality, and social mobility.

CSDE Affiliate Isabelle Cohen article, “Crowd in or crowd out? The subnational fiscal response to aid,” was published in World Development this month. Isabelle examines how International Development Association (IDA) aid funding affects downstream government expenditures, using Uganda as a case study. Using unique data on subnational government expenditures and resource allocation, she finds IDA aid funding fosters greater government spending in recipient local districts. It is an important study conceptually and empirically.
