Friday Interview: Murray Documents How America is ‘Coming Apart’

RALEIGH — America always has had richer and poorer people. In the past, they were different primarily in the amount of money they had. Charles Murray, W.H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, says over the past 50 years the wealthy and not-so-wealthy have become very different in ways that extend beyond income levels. Murray documents the changes in the book Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010. Murray discussed key themes from the book during an interview with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
