defending monogamy and capitalism

reading rothbard in egalit

Another primitivistic institution that has been hailed by

many social scientists is the system of the “extended family,”

a harmony and status supposedly ruptured by the individual

-

istic “nuclear family” of the modern West. Yet, the extended

family system has been responsible for crippling the creativ

and productive individual as well as repressing economic

development.

 

 

 

polygamy as in africa and arabic pensula might sound pleasing to those favoring patriarchy and more booty for men.
but monogamy, absent welfare state means lesser mouths to feed from one income and thus creates bigger wealth in long run on economic scale

 

monogamous marriage, absent social security would mean greater incentive for long term saving, which is according to austrian economics the basis of economy.

 

in polygamous marriage there is lesser ability to save in extended families as opposed to nuclear families the ability to save is lessened by reason that the families are bigger thus the wealth must be shared to a greater amount of at that time non producing people.

 

writes rothbard in egalit

West African development has been
impeded by the extended family concept that, if one man
prospers, he is duty bound to share this bounty with a host of
relatives, thus draining off the reward for his productivity
and crippling his incentive to succeed, while encouraging the
relatives to live idly on the family dole.

 

 

opnieuw geldt hier de wet van Davinius: alles wa linkse mensen slecht vinden is goed en omgekeerd!
linkse mensen zijn tegen private property en monogamous marriage, per marx en engels en deze twee zijn in feite juist de basic cornerstone van de ontwikkeling van een geavanceerde economie en cultuur!
