Why We’re Unhappier Than Ever Despite Having Everything - Nick Eberstadt (Video)
In this 8 April 2026 published video, host Mike Rowe talks with Nick Eberstadt, an American political economic, to talk about the numbers—and somewhere along the way, the numbers started talking back.
For years, we’ve been told the biggest threat to humanity is overpopulation. Too many people and not enough resources. Turns out…that might be exactly backwards. Birth rates are falling, families are shrinking, and much of the world is already below replacement level.
At the same time, we’ve never been richer, safer, or more comfortable—and yet, somehow, more disconnected and more miserable. Millions of working-age men have simply checked out. Not working and not looking for work. And the metrics we trust? They’re missing from most of it.
Nick and I get into the collapse nobody’s really talking about, the rise of what Nick calls “the new misery,” and why the future of work might belong to welders before coders. It sounds dark. Sometimes it is. But if history’s any guide, we’ve been here before—and betting against America has never been a great strategy.
The question i, are we paying attention to the right arithmetic?
