It used to be that you needed a partner to survive, either for the money or for the unpaid labor, so you had to put up with Spouse X's various flaws.

These days we're rich and it's much more viable to be single — though this is probably bad for kids. https://t.co/W8zR3UhT3G

Wondering when we get back to multiple trophy & more everyday labor wives, which seemed to take care of the ebbs and floes of married life.

....The reason was simple: farmers had no incentive to move from being self-employed to being hired labor. And who would prefer to switch from being one’s own boss and dependent perhaps only on the elements to become a hired hand, working six days a week all year round, in “satanic mills”?

The issue is noted by Francis Fukuyama (among others) in “Political Order and Political Decay”. He explains slow industrial development in Greece (and he could have readily added Serbia and Bulgaria) by political clientelism which in his views stemmed from premature democratization, that is, before programmatic and not clientelistic political parties could be formed. But he fails to see the economic origin of the problem: lack of incentive to move to cities....
