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.

看瞭這本書後有點發散性想法。那麼多焦慮的傢長,他們到底在焦慮什麼?是害怕孩子無法立足社會?應該不至於,因為這些傢庭的孩子再差也不至於生活不下去。我想,大概是害怕孩子未來的生活比現在差。父母總是希望孩子比自己更成功,但是中産傢庭的孩子要比現在更好,就隻能再往...
評分從這本書,能看到父母為什麼這樣養育我,也會思考我以後要如何對待自己的孩子。如果把孩子當成一場投資,其實是不會在金錢上有正比迴報的,歸根結底還是因為父母子女之間的感情。也不是隻有某一對父母這樣育兒,而是整個社會,國傢乃至全球的父母都在這樣育兒。這本書告訴讀者...

評分很有趣的一本書!除瞭對不同國傢的教養方式的分析之外,還有幾點比較吸引我。 1.為什麼貴族在工業革命中逐漸丟失瞭優勢?因為貴族的教養價值觀不強調耐心和節儉,一旦金融工具發展起來,他們可以利用地産價值藉款,卻不用改變自己奢侈的生活方式,而耐心的缺乏會演變為逐漸加重...

經濟、政策、曆史、宗教、父母受教育程度、階級流動難易、教育投資迴報率…不同程度地影響父母在專斷、權威、放任型教育中抉擇。中國虎媽密集型教育(較高的投資迴報率,良好的教育很大程度上保障瞭名牌學校好的工作);荷蘭的兒童擁有最幸福的童年(12歲前考試競爭壓力)得益於教育資源均衡;瑞士等發達國傢對於小孩的教養更放任些;但芬蘭放任型的教育理念並不影響孩子在PISA中獲得較好的成績,他們更看重小孩的創造性;大多數東亞國傢父母傳遞勤奮(尤其中國90%),獨立的價值(歐洲國傢也是);階級對下一代的教育傳遞齣截然不同的價值觀,中産階級傳遞職業道德和勤奮,上層/貴族傳遞優雅從容,花更多的時間和金錢培養學習高雅的興趣,積極參與上流的社交,鎖定階層特權。(一組數據挺震驚的河南考生清華錄取率是北京的1/300????)

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.
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~)
