It examines how families have responded to incentives and constraints established by diverse federal and state policies and laws, including the regulation of marriage and of female labor force participation, child labor and education policies?including segregation?social welfare programs, and more. The goal of this book is to present family economic decisions throughout US history in a way that contextualizes where the US economy and the families that drive it have been. It goes on to discuss the role public policies have played in that journey, where we need to go from here, and how public policies can help us get there. At a time when American families are more complex than ever before, this volume will educate readers on the often unrecognized role that government policies have on our family lives, and the uncelebrated role that family economic decision-making has on the future of the US economy. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in American Economic History,$x2662-3900 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAmerica?Economic conditions 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aCulture?Economic aspects 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aNorth American Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45060 606 $aChildren, Youth and Family Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33010 606 $aCultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAmerica?Economic conditions. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aCulture?Economic aspects. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aNorth American Economics. 615 24$aChildren, Youth and Family Policy. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 676 $a640 700 $aWay$b Megan McDonald$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065108 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299628903321 996 $aFamily Economics and Public Policy, 1800s?Present$92543221 997 $aUNINA
