Economic Theories

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or theories:

    If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
