ABSTRACT
The changing nature of relationships between parents and children, men and women, is a central feature of economic development, with important implications for sustainable growth and social welfare. This book shows that these relationships cannot be explained simply by individual choices or class dynamics, because they reflect many aspects of collective identity and interest. Some groups have more power than others, and forms of power based on gender, age, and sexual orientation must be analyzed in concert with forms of power based on nation, race, and class.
