Law Prof @ Univ. of Texas & UT Faculty Athletics Representative. Coming in Jan 2026: a book (I wrote it) that explains how to save the middle class & restore upward mobility: https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-middle-class-new-deal/
66% of straight Repub men who don't have kids want kids someday. The challenge with reversing declining fertility rates? Only 43% of straight Dem men, 42% of R women & 38% of D women want kids. Liberal "single cat ladies" aren't the problem. The likely culprit? Financial precarity & uncertainty.

At long last, my book that explores why so many lower/middle-income people struggle to become & remain middle-class will be published in early 2026. Given current economic trends & political realities, I’m sadly confident that this book will be relevant for the foreseeable future.
