Children vs. The Future

From: Haircuts by Children and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract

$0.60

In the last chapter, the author situates his writing up to this point within the modern context of children being coddled and protected to the point of limiting their freedoms to move and play, as well as the increasing inequality facing most modern societies. He reminds the reader why children’s involvement in the world of work would be so disruptively beneficial to both of these trends.
