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 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 certain 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.

Описание: If a history of Russian-Jewish literature in the twentieth century were ever to be written, it would reveal a number of puzzling gaps. One is Andrei Sobol, a truly significant writer who has not received due scholarly attention. It is this scholarly gap that has led Vladimir Khazan to write this volume, a comprehensive and exhaustive account of Sobol`s public, literary, and artistic activities.

Описание: This volume looks at hospitals in the post-medieval Indo-Iranian world from various perspectives. During the Safavid-Mughal periods hospitals were still tied to Avicennian medicine. However, in Qajar Iran and British India hospitals became important instruments for the spread of modern Western medicine. The papers in this volume present a significant panorama on the history of medicine and medical institutions in Iran and India during the early modern and the modern periods. The portrait that emerges is not homogeneous, but instead shows ambivalent and contrasting images. Hospitals can be seen as powerful symbols of the Muslim scientific civilization and then of modern medicine, nevertheless, they remained institutions relegated to the fringes of society - regarded with suspicion and usually reserved for the poor. Contributors include: Cristiana Bastos, Willem Floor, Claudia Preckel, Omid Rezai, Fabrizio Speziale, Hasan Tadjbakhsh, Anna Vanzan
This book is copublished with the Institut Fran ais de Recherche en Iran (IFRI) as no. 74 in the Biblioth que Iranienne series.
Le pr sent ouvrage propose un panorama significatif d' tudes portant sur l'histoire et le r le des h pitaux dans le monde irano-indien au cours de la premi re modernit et de l' poque moderne. Les contributions rassembl es dans ce volume tudient l'h pital depuis plusieurs perspectives, examinant cet tablissement tant t comme une institution scientifique, tant t en fonction de son utilit sociale. Ce qui merge de ces travaux ne constitue pas un portrait homog ne, mais plut t une image ambivalente et contrast e de ces tablissements. Les h pitaux peuvent tre vus comme des symboles puissants de la pi t des souverains musulmans, ou de la civilisation scientifique musulmane, puis du triomphe de la science occidentale moderne. Cependant, pour une tr s longue p riode, l'h pital demeure une institution rel gu e la marge de la soci t , regard e avec suspicion et en particulier r serv e aux indigents.
