Dollars and Sex unpacks the mysteries of everyday life as they pertain to the titallating topics of love, sex, and relationships.
Economist Dr. Marina Adshade applies the useful models and terminology of economics to analyse mate selection, the sex trade, and the institution of marriage, holding a mirror up to our collective behaviour and telling us fascinating and often shocking stories about ourselves: why some people are more prone to infidelity than others, if online dating is truly effective, or whether money really can buy love.
