1) År 1985 utkom en vänbok till PG Gyllenhammar. Den heter Arbete och värdighet.
2) I en bok om arbete beskrivs den nuvarande kapitalismens verklighetsuppfattning som "psykedelisk". Det tycker jag med.
3) Citat ur en artikel om prostitution: "Although this is a gross simplification, for the purpose of this paper, we shall argue that a prostitute sells nonreproductive sex, which we shall call “commercial sex,” whereas a wife sells reproductive sex (i.e., sex plus children). Note that the two activities thus defined are mutually exclusive."
"Humans not only mate but also marry. We argue that men pay a premium for mating opportunities in wedlock. The basic idea is that in addition to biological parenthood, people might be interested in a social affiliation, for example, in a role as recognized parent and custodian."
"A central feature of our argument is that prostitution compromises female marriage market prospects."
"A crucial element in our model will be that married men also consult prostitutes. This begs the question why married men go to prostitutes (rather than buying from their wives, who presumably would be low-cost providers considering that they can sell nonreproductive sex
without compromising their marriage)"
"The child is a public good to both parents if they are married; otherwise, only the mother derives utility from the child."
"We assume that men obtain utility from child quality, k, conditional on marriage, m; commercial sex, s; and a third, exogenously supplied, consumption good, c, which also serves as the numeraire: u = u(k(m), s, c). All goods are assumed normal, with the proviso that commercial
sex is normal conditional on marital status."
"Women do not care for sex, but derive utility from their children (independently of marital status) and consumption. Hence, we write female utility as v = v(k, c). A woman can either work in a regular job or be a prostitute. If she holds a regular job, she marries; if a prostitute, she does not. Hence, the female choice is couched in terms of whether to be a wife or a prostitute."
"Marriages are matched in a competitive market, where women sell and men buy."
Utbud och efterfrågan, serrö. Psykedeliskt är ordet.
