PARENTONOMICS
An Economist Dad Looks at Parenting
Joshua Gans
What every parent needs to know
Like any new parent, Joshua Gans felt joy mixed with anxiety upon the birth about negotiating, incentives,
of his first child. Who was this blanket-swaddled small person and what did outsourcing, and other strategies
she want? Unlike most parents, however, Gans is an economist, and he began to solve the economic management
problem that is parenting.
to apply the tools of his trade to raising his children. He saw his new life as one
big economic management problem — and if economics helped him think about
parenting, parenting illuminated certain economic principles. Parentonomics is March

later offered another, better toilet training solution: outsourcing. For their
third child, Gans and his wife put it in the hands of professionals — the day
care providers.)
Gans gives us the parentonomic view of
delivery (if the mother shares her pain by
yelling at the father, doesn’t it really create
more aggregate pain?), sleep (the screams of
a baby are like an offer: “I’ll stop screaming if
you give me attention”), food (a question of
marketing), travel (“the best thing you can say
about traveling with children is that they are
worse than baggage”), punishment (and threat
credibility), birthday party time management,
and more.
Parents: if you’re reading Parentonomics in
the presence of other people, you’ll be unable to
keep yourself from reading the funny parts out
loud. And if you’re reading it late at night and
wake a child with your laughter — well, you’ll
have some guidelines for negotiating a return
to bed.
Joshua Gans is the father of three and Chair of
Management at the Melbourne Business School,
University of Melbourne. He is the author of several
economics textbooks and the 2007 recipient of
Australia’s Young Economist award.
“Dr. Spock meets Freakonomics. Parenting will never be the same. Forget about
inflation and unemployment. Here Gans uses economics and game theory to tackle
really important topics, such as toilet training and fussy eaters. Parentonomics lays
bare what most sleep-deprived parents only dream about. Gans may not help you
become a better parent, but he will help you to stay one step ahead of your kids.”

ity can inspire each other. In the Eameses’ work there was a healthy tension
between cut-to-the-chase problem solving and more playful explorations. Pullin
offers examples of how design can meet disability today. Why, he asks, shouldn’t
hearing aids be as fashionable as eyewear? What new forms of braille signage
might proliferate if designers kept both sighted and visually impaired people in
mind? Can simple designs avoid the need for complicated accessibility features?
Can such emerging design methods as “experience prototyping” and “critical
design” complement clinical trials?
Pullin also presents a series of interviews with leading designers about specific
disability design projects, including stepstools for people with restricted growth,
prosthetic legs (and whether they can be both honest and beautifully designed),
and text-to-speech technology with tone of voice. When design meets disability,
the diversity of complementary, even contradictory, approaches can enrich
each field.

of art and life as simultaneous processes. In 1986 Hsieh announced that he would
spend the next thirteen years making art but not showing it publicly. When this
“final” lifework — an immense act of self-affirmation and self-erasure — came
to a close at the turn of the Millennium, he tersely and enigmatically said that
during this time he had simply kept himself alive.
For many contemporary artists Hsieh is something of a cult
figure. After years of near-invisibility, Hsieh has now collaborated
with the British writer and curator Adrian Heathfield to create
this meticulous and visually arresting documentary record of a
contemporary artist’s work — in this case, the complete body
of Tehching Hsieh’s performance projects from 1978 to 2000.
Not only is this the first extensive critical account of these
unusual works, it is also the first to discuss their significance
for art history, visual and cultural studies, and the practice of
performance.

them through the years.
In each culture obelisks have taken on new meanings and associations.
To the Egyptians, the obelisk was the symbol of a pharaoh’s right to rule and
connection to the divine. In ancient Rome, obelisks were the embodiment of
Rome’s coming of age as an empire. To nineteenth-century New Yorkers, the
obelisk in Central Park stood for their country’s rejection of the trappings of
empire just as it was itself beginning to acquire imperial
power. To a twentieth-century reader of Freud, the obelisk
had anatomical and psychological connotations. And so on,
and so on.
The history of obelisks is a story of technical achievement,
imperial conquest, Christian piety and triumphalism, egotism,
scholarly brilliance, political hubris, bigoted nationalism, demo-
cratic self-assurance, Modernist austerity, and Hollywood
kitsch — in short, the story of Western civilization.

those of national security, the more military values are conflated with the goals
of sustainable development.
Parr looks closely at five examples of the hijacking of sustainability: corporate
image-greening by such companies as British Petroleum (BP) and Wal-Mart;
Hollywood activism by Leonardo DiCaprio and other movie industry figures;
the autonomy of communal ecovillages vs. the mili-
tary-like security of gated communities; the greening
of the White House (and its de-greening: Ronald
Reagan famously removed solar panels installed by
Jimmy Carter); and the incongruous efforts to
achieve a “sustainable” Army. Parr then examines key
challenges to sustainability — waste disposal, disaster
relief and environmental refugees, slum development,
and poverty.
Sustainability, Parr says, has captured our imagi-
nation at a time when we are discouraged and
demoralized by a failed war and general governmen-
tal incompetence; it offers an alternative narrative of
the collective good — an idea now compromised and
endangered by corporate, military, and government
interests.

Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the 978-0-262-01253-9
real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues with conviction in this engaging,
sometimes pugnacious book, is dependent on things outside itself. Despite the
claims of architects to autonomy, purity, and control, architecture is buffeted by
uncertainty and contingency. Circumstances invariably intervene to upset the
architect’s best-laid plans — at every stage in the process, from design through
construction to occupancy. Architects, however, tend to deny
this, fearing contingency and preferring to pursue perfection.
With Architecture Depends, architect and critic Jeremy Till offers
a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves: a way to
bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what
architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory,
and raw opinion, Till’s writing is always accessible, moving freely
between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for
architecture itself.
The everyday world is a disordered mess, from which
architecture has retreated — and this retreat, says Till, is
deluded. Architecture must engage with the inescapable
reality of the world; in that engagement is the potential for
a reformulation of architectural practice. Contingency should
be understood as an opportunity rather than a threat. Elvis
Costello said that his songs have to work when played through
the cheapest transistor radio; for Till, architecture has to work
(socially, spatially) by coping with the flux and vagaries of
everyday life. Architecture, he proposes, must move from a
reliance on the impulsive imagination of the lone genius
to a confidence in the collaborative ethical imagination,
from clinging to notions of total control to an intentional
acceptance of letting go.

and a partner at Sarah Wigglesworth Architects. Their projects include the pioneering
9 Stock Orchard Street (The Strawbale House and Quilted Office), winner of multiple
awards. He represented Britain at the 2006 Venice Architecture Biennale.
“A provocative declaration of war on utopia, powered by a fuel rich in social justice and
sharp humor. Architects, hide it from your clients and your students — it is an unusual
and explosive mixture that produces difficult questions like spores. With this book
Jeremy Till raises the starting price on all our discussions of architecture.”

vehicles owners were on the road, permanent itinerant campers. In Camps,
Charlie Hailey examines the space and idea of camp as a defining dimension
of 21st-century life.
The ubiquity and diversity of camps calls for a guidebook. This is what
Hailey offers, but it is no ordinary one. Not only does he establish a typology
of camps, but he also imbeds within his narrative a key to camp ideology. Thus
we see how camp spaces are informed by politics and transform the ways we
think about and make built environments. Hailey describes camps of diverse
regions, purposes, and forms, and navigates the inherent paradoxes of zones that
are neither temporary nor permanent. He looks first at camps of choice, includ-
ing summer camps, protest camps, drift camps (research stations on Arctic ice
floes), and LTVA (Long-Term Visitor Area) Camps, then at strategic camps
regulated by power — boot camps, GTMO (the detention
camp at Guantánamo Bay), immigrant camps, and others —
and finally at transient spaces of relief and assistance, among
them refugee camps, FEMA City, work camps, and Gypsy
camps. More than 150 diagrams, sketches, building and site
plans, photographs, political cartoons, video game screenshots,
aerial and satellite images, and maps illustrate camp space in
unprecedented complexity and variety.
Today camps are at the center of emerging questions of
identity, residency, safety, and mobility. Camp spaces register the
struggles, emergencies, and possibilities of global existence
as no other space does.

the Internet, Higgins demonstrates that once a grid is invented, it may bend,
crumble, or shatter, but its organizing principle never disappears.
The appearance of each grid was a watershed event. Brick, tablet, and city
gridiron made possible sturdy housing, the standardization of language, and
urban development. Maps, musical notation, financial ledgers, and moveable
type promoted the organization of space, music, and time, international trade,
and mass literacy. The screen of perspective painting heralded the science of the
modern period, classical mechanics, and the screen arts, while the standardiza-
tion of space made possible by the manufactured box suggested the purified box
forms of industrial architecture and visual art. The net, the most ancient grid,
made its first appearance in Stone Age Finland; today, the loose but clearly
articulated networks of the World Wide Web suggest that we are in the middle
of an emergent grid that is reshaping the world, as grids do, in its image.
Hannah B Higgins is Associate Professor in the Department of Art
History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is the author of
Fluxus Experience.
“The title of this book does not begin to describe how subversive
its intentions are. Higgins’s review of the deep history of the grid
rescues it from whatever claims modernism has made to its form and
function, and more precisely identifies the grid as a tool of human
cognition, which has happened to have a profound effect on our
visual culture throughout history.”

$29.95T/£19.95 cloth digital rhetoric in such cases and its dual role as mediamaker and regulator.
978-0-262-12304-4
Looking beyond the usual focus on interfaces, operations, and procedures,
Losh analyzes the ideologies revealed in government’s digital discourse, its
anxieties about new online practices, and what happens when officially
sanctioned material is parodied, remixed, or recontextualized by users.
Losh reports on a video game that panicked the House Intelligence
Committee, pedagogic and therapeutic digital products aimed at American
soldiers, government Web sites in the weeks and months following 9/11,
PowerPoint presentations by government officials and gadflies, e-mail as a
channel for whistleblowing, digital satire of surveillance practices, national
digital libraries, and computer-based training for health professionals.
Losh concludes that the government’s “virtualpolitik” — its digital realpolitik
aimed at preserving its own power — is focused on regulation, casting as
criminal such common online activities as file sharing, video-game play, and
social networking. This policy approach,
she warns, indefinitely postpones building
effective institutions for electronic gover-
nance, ignores constituents’ need to shape
electronic identities to suit their personal
politics, and misses an opportunity to
learn how citizens can have meaningful
interaction with the virtual manifestations
of the state.
Elizabeth Losh is Writing Director of the
Humanities Core Course at the University of
California, Irvine, where she teaches courses
on digital rhetoric and public communication.

drawings, maps, plans, and an engaging narrative of the pond’s geological,
historical, and political ecology.
Fresh Pond has been a Native American hunting and fishing ground; the
site of an eighteenth-century hotel offering bowling, food and wine, and
impromptu performances by Harvard men; a summer retreat for wealthy
Bostonians; a training ground for trench warfare; a location for picnics and
festivals for workers and sporting activities for all. The parkland features an
Olmsted design, albeit an imperfectly realized one. The pond itself — a natural
lake carved out by the retreating Ice Age about 15,000 years ago — was a center
of the nineteenth-century ice industry (disparaged by Thoreau, writing about
another pond), and still supplies the city of Cambridge with fresh drinking water.
Sinclair’s celebration of a local landscape also alerts us to broader issues —
shifts in public attitudes toward nature (is it brutal wilderness or in need of
protection?) and water (precious commodity or
limitless flow?) — that resonate as we remake our
relationship to the landscape.
Jill Sinclair is a landscape historian, writer, and lecturer
now living in Paris.

“Žižek has only to clap eyes on a received truth to feel the intolerable itch to deface it. . . Žižek
is that rare breed of writer — one who is both lucid and esoteric. If he is sometimes hard to
understand, it is because of the intricacy of his ideas, not because of a self-preening style.”
