Nancy Folbre challenges the conventional economist's assumption that parents have children for the same reason that they acquire pets--primarily for the pleasure of their company. Children become the workers and taxpayers of the next generation, and "investments" in them offer a significant payback to other participants in the economy. Yet parents, especially mothers, pay most of the costs. The high price of childrearing pushes many families into poverty, often with adverse consequences for children themselves. Parents spend time as well as money on children. Yet most estimates of the "cost" of children ignore the value of this time. Folbre provides a startlingly high but entirely credible estimate of the value of parental time per child by asking what it would cost to purchase a comparable substitute for it. She also emphasizes the need for better accounting of public expenditure on children over the life cycle and describes the need to rethink the very structure and logic of the welfare state. A new institutional structure could promote more cooperative, sustainable, and efficient commitments to the next generation.

A collection of previously published essays that highlights the historical dialogue between neoclassical and institutionalist approaches to the economics of the family. The volume is divided into eight sections: neoclassical perspectives; institutionalist and feminist perspectives; bargaining power models; fertility decline; intergenerational transfers; intra-household allocation; families and class inequality; and families and the state. The earliest of the 31 essays is Schultz's "An Economic Model of Family Planning and Fertility" (1969); the most recent is Folbre's "Children as Public Goods" (1994). No subject index.
