"""Excellent! The Family Economy ably translates complex historical developments into a plan of action to rebuild families--and a true civilization."" --Allan C. Carlson, editor, The Natural Family: An International Journal of Research and Policy ""Rory Groves has done it again! The Family Economy makes a great companion to his excellent book, Durable Trades. It's a brief introduction to the household economy, actually, the real economy, historically, and practically understood. It's what we're working for and where the work is meant to be done."" --C. R. Wiley, author of Man of the House and The Household and the War for the Cosmos ""Rory Groves here offers a clarion call for the restoration of the family economy in the twenty-first century. The time has never been more urgent for it. Human society in developed economies is now pressed to the breaking point. The family has been decimated by cultural, social, and sexual revolutions. Technology has turned counterproductive to human life. We're doing everything wrong, and that's hardly an exaggeration. This is the very beginning of putting things right again. Ultimately, we're going to have to get back to God's way--the third way."" --Kevin Swanson, author of Epoch: The Rise and Fall of the West"
