Pricing the Priceless Child: The Changing Social Value of Children Revised edition
Viviana A. Zelizer
Having established laws removing many children from the marketplace, turn-of-the-century America was discovering new, sentimental criteria to determine a child's monetary worth. This book traces the emergence of the modern child, at once economically 'useless' and emotionally 'priceless,' from the late 1800s to the 1930s.
