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.

從孩子齣生到上小學,我在六年時間裏看瞭幾十本育兒書籍。從一開始如何照料孩子到如何讓孩子健康成長再到怎樣讓孩子擁有更好的未來,隨著年齡增長關注的育兒主題一直在改變。各個國傢各個流派的育兒書均有涉獵,而其中大部分都是從心理學角度或實用準則方麵來審視教育問題,這...

評分不管什麼教育模式,都是曆史、文化、社會、經濟環境和政府政策共同影響的産物,所以也就沒有非此即彼,也沒有對錯可言,隻是應用程度的問題。個人覺得要想實行完全放任自由的教育理念,至少得有資金獲取最好的教育資源,能提供一個良好的環境,纔能完全放任小孩自我習得和成長。(第一次完整聽完一本audiobook,發現聽書還挺有效率的呀~)
評分inequality --> helicopter parents
評分經濟學是一門解釋人類行為的科學。育兒則是非常典型的一種人類行為,因此毫無疑問的,本書利用大量的數據和對比分析闡述瞭經濟狀況的變化對人們育兒的直接影響。最核心的觀點是,收入平等差距越大的國傢,父母們越傾嚮於采用專斷或者權威型的育兒方式,相反越是收入差距不大的地方——最典型是北歐國傢,父母往往喜歡采取“放養型”的育兒策略。這一點非常容易理解,但更重要的是作者用數據說明瞭這個因素是影響父母育兒策略最重要的因素。本書給讀者帶來的另外一個重大意義是反思自己采取的育兒策略,在多大程度上收到瞭經濟層麵不平等程度的影響,而當前采取的育兒策略對孩子而非傢長而言,是否是最優的選擇? 另外贊一下本書的寫作風格,基本沒有偏詞怪詞,行文極其流暢,實乃英語聽力輸入的絕佳選擇。
評分Economic forces play an important role of shaping the parenting style. The intensive parenting prevails today as a result of rising economic inequality and higher return on education.
