Episode notes

The chapter explores the significance of incorporating economic concepts into parenting, as highlighted through Emily Auster's upbringing. It emphasizes the importance of sincerity, consistency, and clarity in applying one's beliefs to parenting.

"If you haven’t read Emily Oster’s work, then your wife probably has. She’s a wonderful, brilliant economist (who also has a brilliant newsletter) whose work focuses on parenting and children.

It shouldn’t surprise us that her work is brilliant and often contrarian, given the unique childhood she had. Oster was the children of two professors at Yale. Her mother and father did more than just interesting work—they showed it to their children, expanding their minds and their perceptions in the process."

Ryan explains how the way you set up your household influences your children for the rest of their lives on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
