Book Synopsis Pricing the Priceless Child by : Viviana A. Zelizer
Book excerpt: This study traces the emergence of changing attitudes about the child, at once economically "useless" and emotionally "priceless", from the late 1800s to the 1930s. It describes how turn-of-the-century America discovered new, sentimental ways to determine a child's monetary worth.
