This book explores family economic decision-making in the United
States from the nineteenth century through present day,
specifically looking at the relationship between family resource
allocation decisions and government policy. It examines how
families have responded to incentives and constraints established
by diverse federal and state policies and laws, including the
regulation of marriage and of female labor force participation,
child labor and education policies-including segregation-social
welfare programs, and more. The goal of this book is to present
family economic decisions throughout US history in a way that
contextualizes where the US economy and the families that drive it
have been. It goes on to discuss the role public policies have
played in that journey, where we need to go from here, and how
public policies can help us get there. At a time when American
families are more complex than ever before, this volume will
educate readers on the often unrecognized role that government
policies have on our family lives, and the uncelebrated role that
family economic decision-making has on the future of the US
economy.
