What does Murray say?

  • Breakdown of nuclear family - lack of male role models and socialisation.

  • Lone parents problematic and encouraged into the ‘underclass’ through the ‘perverse' incentive’ of a generous welfare system.

  • ‘Culture of poverty’ at a time when consumerism is high. Crime funds lifestyles.
