- Summary:
- Dollars and Sex unveils the economics behind sex and love, answering questions we've always wondered - and those we never thought to ask, such as: When dating online, do we create thin markets, making it harder to find a mate? What is the relationship between rising rates of casual sex and the widening earning gap? Is modern marriage just an opportunity to consume more goods and services? If teenagers are having sex less frequently, why are STD rates in that group on the rise? Book jacket.
