> There's a good reason why we've gravitated towards monogamy (at least as an ideal) -- it works. Does it? Look at the divorce rate... I think really it works (to an extent) in our current society because monogamy, like the article suggests, was accepted as a cultural norm because it supports the notions of private property and capitalism. I wonder if there's a correlation between non-monogamy in a society and the amount of socialism in its current politics.
