An international and historical look at how parenting choices change in the face of economic inequality
Parents everywhere want their children to be happy and do well. Yet how parents seek to achieve this ambition varies enormously. For instance, American and Chinese parents are increasingly authoritative and authoritarian, whereas Scandinavian parents tend to be more permissive. Why? Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces and growing inequality shape how parents raise their children. From medieval times to the present, and from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden to China and Japan, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti look at how economic incentives and constraints--such as money, knowledge, and time--influence parenting practices and what is considered good parenting in different countries.
Through personal anecdotes and original research, Doepke and Zilibotti show that in countries with increasing economic inequality, such as the United States, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. Economics has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 1960s and '70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing "parenting gap" between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility and fewer opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In nations with less economic inequality, such as Sweden, the stakes are less high, and social mobility is not under threat. Doepke and Zilibotti discuss how investments in early childhood development and the design of education systems factor into the parenting equation, and how economics can help shape policies that will contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all.
Love, Money, and Parenting presents an engrossing look at the economics of the family in the modern world.

评分##现在养育孩子的主力军基本是80、90后了,在我们育儿的过程中听到最多的话就是父辈说:“我们以前养你们的时候怎么怎么样,你们现在不也挺好的嘛,哪有那么多事。”其实他们之所以会这样说正是由于他们不知道育儿方式取决于现在生活的经济社会环境,而非小时候接触的育儿文化及...
评分 评分【莫舒读感】 看到书籍名字就吸引到我了,更没想到这本书是一本经济学的著作,也就是说它并不是教我们什么样的育儿方法更有效,它是两个经济学家经过了长年的研究之后,给我们剖析出:我们生活当中为什么现在直升机父母,变得越来越多。 大家知道什么叫直升机父母吗?我也是第...
评分##2021年读过的第一本书就是关于为什么要“鸡娃”。 这个问题通俗讲,没那么复杂,鸡娃的根源是怕爸爸妈妈一代好不容易爬到中产,但是很有可能,娃娃无法继承衣钵,没法中产向上爬,顺着势头向下滑。 特别是在朝气蓬勃的伟大祖国,经历了40多年的改革开放大变迁,四个老人+一对高...
