Synopsis

Written by a former househusband, this evocative and timely book challenges conventional wisdom about child care. Arguing that Americans have wrongly embraced day care and devalued work that is traditionally done by women, Charles Siegel reveals the negative effects of day care on children and the family. Moreover, he claims that for social and environmental reasons, both men and women must reevaluate modern life styles and recognize the value of the home economy, as well as that of the money economy.
