<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/><br/>The social dynamics of reproduction -- Economic and political relations of reproduction -- The economic organization of reproduction -- The reproductive organization of the economy -- Generation, gender, and social class -- Reproduction and the rise of industrial capitalism -- Wages, salaries and the political economy of reproduction -- Moral crises and utopian experiments -- Social and analytical constructions of reproduction. 
<br/><br/> The main argument of this work is that, instead of the family, sociologists and anthropologists should concentrate on the study of human reproduction. Readdressing the role of the family and re-interpreting the social organization of reproduction may help to understand key issues of modern life.
