In his book The Future of the Family, the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan pointed out that, "The biggest change is that the family structure has come apart in the North Atlantic world, a historical instant that was not imaginable 40 years ago. I agree with him. Our family structure is in tatters. When relationships fail and lives are ruined, when children need guidance and parents aren't there to give it to them, when we overspend and can no longer meet the payments, we will finally realize that something is wrong in our world. Sadly, for some, especially for the young, receiving so little parental input and having even less inclination to listen to their life experiences, "acting cool" will determine how they make decisions in matters that they really do not yet understand. You can read more about the collapse of the family in Meyer's "Marriages, Shack-ups and Other Disasters" or Gigerenzer's "Thinking: Rationaliy in the Real World."
