Episode notes
Law's Role in Family
- Law's impact on family is underrated; it affects marriage, property, and family form.
- Conservatives should prioritize cultural aspects like marriage and pornography over economic ones.
State Legislators' Role
- State legislators should understand their role in family formation, even if negative, by considering policies like the child tax credit.
- Recognize the marriage divide; the wealthy marry and stay married, while the less wealthy often do not, entrenching a class divide.
