How To Plot Love On An Indifference Curve, Brian H. Bix
How To Plot Love On An Indifference Curve, Brian H. Bix
Michigan Law Review
In From Partners to Parents: The Second Revolution in Family Law, June Carbone offers nothing less than a whirlwind tour of the current doctrinal and policy debates of Family Law - an astounding feat in a book whose main text (excluding endnotes and appendices) does not reach 250 pages. There seem to be few controversies about which Carbone has not read widely and come to a conclusion, and usually a fair-minded one: from the effect of no-fault divorce reforms on the divorce rate, to the long-term consequences of slavery for the African-American family (pp. 67-84), to whether the Aid to …

Both these explanations for the existence of dowry are fundamentally grounded in the powerful social and cultural ideologies of marriage held by …
