Book TV: Patrick J. Carr, "Hollowing out the Middle"
"Hollowing Out the Middle: The Rural Brain Drain and What it Means for America" Immigration is causing young people in small towns to leave their homes, the authors argue. They say this departure is large-scale, and that it leaves behind a largely immigrant, segregated population, making small middle-American towns look more and more like inner cities. Co-author Mr. Carr appears in Sumner, Iowa.
