In this landmark book, sociologist Viviana Zelizer traces the emergence of the modern child, at once economically 'useless' and emotionally 'priceless,' from the late 1800s to the 1930s.

In this landmark book, sociologist Viviana Zelizer traces the emergence of the modern child, at once economically 'useless' and emotionally 'priceless,' from the late 1800s to the 1930s. Having established laws removing many children from the marketplace, turn-of-the-century America was discovering new, sentimental criteria to determine a child's monetary worth. The heightened emotional status of children resulted, for example, in the legal justification of children's life insurance policies and in large damages awarded by courts to their parents in the event of death. A vivid account of changing attitudes toward children, this book dramatically illustrates the limits of economic views of life that ignore the pervasive role of social, cultural, emotional, and moral factors in our marketplace world.

我一直觉得历史研究最能打动人的地方就是展示过去是如何的不一样,而不是某些所谓的XX传统有多经久不衰影响深远

我觉得这本书至少解决了我的两个很重要的问题:第一,孩子为什么重要以及这种重要性在社会发展变迁中的进程和表现。第二, 批判马克思主义的经济社会理论大潮中的一员:为什么经济不能全然的成为决定因素。是儿童研究的重要著作,又是经济理论研究的宝贵例证。/我看的是1985年的版本,我们国内2008年才翻译出版,看起来都好像毫无违和感,23年,唉。
