Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this present study Michel Verdon posits a radical and multidisciplinary method of examining household formation by refuting this 'collectivist set of suppositions' and recognizing residence as the critical determinant of all household forming practices. This book argues that the natural preference of adults not constituting part of a couple is to reside independently of others. The reasons why they do not do so are contingent on various economic or cultural constraints.
