Description
This is a systematic account of the law and economics of the American family. It explores the implications of economics for family law--divorce, adoption, breach of promise, surrogacy, prenuptial agreements, custody arrangements--and its limitations, and introduces the idea of covenant to consider the role of love, trust, and fidelity.
