Parents need to take the long view of social problems and to map out a plan to solve them quite as carefully and thoughtfully as they would consider academic or health problems.

What Can Economists Tell Us About Teenage Sexual Mores?

Societies socialize children about many things, including sex. Socialization is costly. It uses scarce resources, such as time and effort.
