      abstract = {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.},
