Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes
Paula Szuchman / Jenny Anderson
Equity in marriage? Spousal franchises? Rules for using the living room? What nonsense! you say. We assure you that after reading this book, you will change your mind and see that marriage is a business run by two business partners. Moreover, you not only work together for the benefit of a common cause, but also trade among themselves various services, which include household chores. How do you distribute responsibilities? Whose specialization should be the purchase of milk, and whose specialization should be window cleaning? Who is to make sure that the clothes are washed, ironed and stacked in the closet, and who is to set the dinner table? No matter how much we want to protect our love boat from everyday "reefs", often these questions sow discord in our families. It should not be. And the economy knows how to avoid it.
