Economic Policies and Family Dynamics

This chapter examines how monetary and fiscal policies disproportionately affect the housing market, favoring a select few while impeding access for many, especially young individuals. It links rising housing costs to economic policies and explores their impact on family formation and societal values, discussing how these factors contribute to declining birth rates and changing priorities among younger generations. The chapter also investigates the Cantillon effects and their role in exacerbating economic disparities, particularly in relation to family stability and financial literacy across various socioeconomic classes.
