Introduction
David Friedman is a famous and archrecapitalist economist. He argues that the effect of polygyny or polyandry is the opposite of what people expect. If men can have multiple wives, that's going to bid up the price of a wife,. It means that ordinary monogamous man still ends up getting a wife put on worse terms. The result is to benefit women, and maybe to harm men.
