- Parenthood, Parenting, New York Times reviewed, Consumption (Economics)
A leading social critic goes inside the billion-dollar baby business to expose the marketing and the myths, helping parents determine what's worth their money and what's a waste. Pamela Paul investigates the marketing hype, peer pressure, and easy consumerism that spins parents into purchasing overpriced products and raising overprotected, overstimulated, and over-provided-for children.
