On this episode of Future of Freedom, host Scot Bertram talks with Brad Wilcox, Future of Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. The Institute for Family Studies is a think tank "dedicated to strengthening marriage and family life and advancing the well-being of children." Wilcox discusses why strong families can lead to strong economies, why the "Success Sequence" is the right path to follow, and what's missing when a father is out of the picture. Also, what's to be done about the decline in the birthrate in the U.S.? You can follow Brad on Twitter at @BradWilcoxIFS. You can find more about the Institute for Family Studies at @FamStudies or at ifstudies.org. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/future-of-freedom/support
