Abstract Feminist theory revealed liberal democracy as gendered masculine in a macrointersectional way that privileged racial-ethnic and economic power, enforced heteronormativity, constructed gender-binary citizenship. Merely reformed to accommodate women, many brotherhood–breadwinner democracies now face deeper challenges. As the second demographic transition undermines hegemony of binary gen...

This paper argues that the economics of the family can be much enriched by incorporating recent developments in evolutionary biology, animal behavior studies, cultural evolution, anthropology, and game theory. Evolutionary foundations of sympathy between relatives are explored. Applications of the theory of cultural evolution to the demographic transition and to wealth transfers between generat...

Human Capital, Mortality and Fertility: A Unified Theory of the Economic and Demographic Transition This paper provides a unified theory of the economic and demographic transition. Individuals make optimal decisions about fertility, education of their children and the type and intensity of the investments in their own education. These decisions are affected by different dimensions of mortality ...

The Industrial Revolution seemingly involved two profound changes separated by 120 years: the classic Industrial Revolution of 1770, and the demographic transition of 1890. The first was the appearance of higher innovation rates, creating modern rates of output growth. The second a decline in fertility, first in the upper classes, then among the masses, that channeled all economic growth into h...

The SO(3) lattice gauge theory with a Villain form of action was investigated by Monte Carlo techniques on asymmetric lattices with Nτ = 2 and 4, where Nτ is the number of sites in the temporal extent. Unlike the results for higher Nτ , only one transition of second order was found for Nτ = 2 . An extended action with an irrelevant term to suppress Z2 monopoles enabled us to get a better view o...

Whilst it is widely accepted that the process of national transition from a »developing« to a »developed« status is assessed against economic indicators, it is also recognized that the process of transition is driven by a variety of demographic, social, political, cultural, and biological changes that both lead to and follow from economic transition. Anthropologists have traditionally sought to...
