A profound crisis faces modern social order as traditional family\nrelationships become almost unrecognizable.\nGeorge Gilders Men and Marriage is a revised and expanded\nedition of his 1973 landmark work, Sexual Suicide . He examines\nthe deterioration of the family, the well-defined sex roles it offered, and how\nthis change has shifted the focus of our society. Poverty, for instance, stems\nfrom the destruction of the family when unmarried parents are abandoned by\ntheir lovers or older women are divorced because society approves of their\nhusbands younger girlfriends. Gilder claims that men will only fulfill their\npaternal obligations when women lead them to do so, and that this civilizing\ninfluence, balanced with proper economic support, is the most important part of\nmaintaining a productive, healthy, loving society. He offers a concrete plan\nfor rebuilding the family in America. His solutions challenge readers to return\nto these roles and reestablish the family values that were once so crucial in\nstaving off the ills that plague our country.\nGilder insists that it is time to reexamine what \"liberation\" has\nwrought and at what cost. Only a return to traditional family values, he\ncontends, can stem the tide of disaster.\nGeorge Gilder is the author of Wealth and Poverty , the\nbest-selling critique of Reaganomics, The Spirit of Enterprise ,\nVisible Man , Naked Nomads , and The Party That\nLost Its Head . He was a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and now writes\nregularly for The Wall Street Journal and National Review about\nmaterial advances and their effect on society. His most recent books include\ntwo other well-known social commentaries, Microcosm and Life After\nTelevision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pelican","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895577440309,"sku":"ByrdShop_0882899465","price":34.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0882899465_e628448b-f275-46a6-a2df-29cde8a9d2e6.jpg?v=1778868814","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/men-and-marriage-9780882899466","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
