Abstract
In this book, I have been working to develop a labor theory of the contemporary family. For instance, in the previous chapter I have discussed the way in which the existing relations of production/exploitation (re)produce the family in its current, privatized form. At the same time, these relations of exploitation, as I have argued in Chapter One, work to limit the resources available to working families to meet their needs through their structuring of the working day.
