Morse also shows how the political order--Hillary Clinton's \"village\"--depends upon the prior existence of loving families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the experience of neglected orphans, Morse argues that mothers create the basic attachments that lay the groundwork for the development of conscience. Furthermore, only the family can socialize children to use their freedom responsibly. No social program can take the place of mothers and fathers working together as a team. Unfortunately, stay-at-home mothers are often denigrated by feminists and always squeezed by the economy. \u003ci\u003eLove and Economics \u003c\/i\u003edefends the economic value of motherhood and outlines a better economic way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Roback Morse\u003c\/b\u003e is a renowned marriage and family scholar.
