Because of this conjuncture, si…

Entitled to Power
A Not-So-Modest Proposal, or, Children as Consumer Goods in the Antebellum Rural North
In this concise, well-written, but highly technical study, economist Lee A. Craig revisits a longstanding issue in American economic and demographic history, the decline of rural fertility in the North during the first half of the nineteenth century.
