Tired of arguing with your other half? Are you languishing from household chores, mutual misunderstandings, and lack of sex? Have you noticed that your life partner is not the same person as he was at the beginning of the relationship? Take the advice of Jenny Anderson and Paula Schumann, who believe that “the shortest path to a happy marriage is economics.” While many people believe that love and commodity-money relations are incompatible, the authors of this book believe that every marriage is a business between two people, based on limited resources that must be properly distributed. Anderson and Schumann approach solving the most common family problems armed with economic laws. And using examples from real life they show how the division of labor, supply and demand, benefits and costs and many other economic phenomena - even soap bubbles! - can affect the atmosphere in the family. This wise, sometimes funny, research book will help you use the laws of economics in your everyday life - and bring peace and love back to your home.
