From the Introduction: "Many critics accuse capitalism of destroying the family. Industrialism drew fathers out of the home to earn a living, and a hundred years later, mothers followed them. But economic pressures on the family are incidental to the main structures of the market economy. By contrast, the Socialist attack on marriage has been central to Socialist ideology from the beginning, and continues right down to the present hour. |
We free market advocates sometimes view Socialism as principally an economic ideology, with the attacks on the family as a mere side-show. I believe it is more accurate to view the Socialist deconstruction of marriage as a second front in their attempt to centralize society under the control of the state." |
