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.
##非常enlightening , 用經濟學角度從縱嚮(曆史)和橫嚮(各國)兩個維度分析養育方式背後的經濟動力。也有涉及性彆,宗教,文化等影響因素。近些年流行嚮彆國養娃,教育方式取經,法國媽媽育兒,芬蘭教育等等都很流行,但某國在某個時期的育兒主流方式是從其社會政治文化土壤中長齣來的,無法平移,甚至不能簡單說更好。隻有當孩子,傢長,社會的發展方嚮都往一個方嚮,纔會不擰巴,比如芬蘭。而很多國傢傢長的選擇在社會和孩子之間拉扯,既要以當下社會為參照係謀求孩子過上好日子, 也想順應孩子的自然發展,這就很拉扯瞭。最後,中美在養育方式和很多社會特徵上,相似遠大過差異,彆鬧瞭真是。
評分 評分 評分《愛、金錢和孩子:育兒經濟學》是一本通俗經濟學讀物,著力於解釋為什麼不同國傢、地區,不同曆史時期的父母會選擇不同的教養方式。所以,這不是一本實用類的育兒指南書,而是一本分析類書籍。 本書的作者有兩位,馬賽厄斯·德普剋和法布裏奇奧·齊利博蒂,他們分彆是美國西北...
評分 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~)
