Why do contemporary parents pay more attention and strictness to their children? Is this kind of upbringing good or bad?
"Love Money and Children" reveals the reasons why different parents choose different parenting methods from an economic perspective, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of these parenting methods, so that parents can more clearly understand their choices and inspire us how to improve parenting methods.
Many times, knowing why is more important than how to do it. Only in this way can blindness be avoided and the goals of parenting can be better achieved.

Introduction to "Love Money and Children"
Raising children in unequal times
From the United States to China, whether rich or poor, whether boys or girls, parents around the world want their children to grow up happily and achieve success. However, their ways of achieving this goal vary widely. Parents in the United States and China are becoming more and more authoritarian and arbitrary, and the "parenting war" is becoming increasingly fierce; while Nordic parents are more tolerant by comparison. What is the reason behind this transformation?
From the Middle Ages to modern society, from the United States, Britain, Northern Europe to China and Japan, this book spans time and space, studying how economic incentives and constraints have influenced childcare practices in different countries, and what are good parenting methods.
In an era of increasingly fierce competition, it is the common wish of all to achieve equal opportunities and educational equity, and to help children gain a foothold in the future.
