As Allan Carlson makes clear in Fractured Generations, no nation can progress, or even survive, without a durable family system. The family is the source of life and the crucible of character that makes liberty possible. Contemporary family policy represents an attempt to counter the negative forces of the last four decades so as to restore the natural family to its necessary place in American life. Fractured Generations chapters follow the life course of the human family - marriage; the birth of children; infant and toddler care; schooling; building a home; crafting a durable family economy; and elder care. This is a passionate and well-reasoned appeal for a return to the institution that is the last best hope for America's future: the family.
