Book Review: "The Two-Parent Privilege"
- robocat 3y ago> Economists model marriage economically. They assume that women are hyper-rational agents, who get married based on the financial return a husband will provide. Is there any way we can find good statistics on married economists? Do Economists act rationally? Anecdotally the answer is they most definitely do not maximise their gains economically (they don't generally make good decisions in my experience).
- nrdxp 3y agoMhm, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the laws that punish men into oblivion, and deprive them of their own children if they dare to divorce huh? Unless of course you have a spotless record, your ex is verifiably insane and you are one of maybe 5-10% that can actually afford to double your household expenses for the next decade, then maybe you'll get 50/50, which still puts your kids at a disadvantage.
