An international and historical look at how parenting choices change in the face of economic inequality. Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces and growing inequality shape how parents raise their children.

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.
