Famous quotes containing the words activities and/or economics:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“I am not prepared to accept the economics of a housewife.”
—Jacques Chirac (b. 1932)
