I love, love, love this book so far. I'm pleasantly surprised about how engaging and easy it is to read.

I can't tell if it's a relief or not that history has repeatedly had the same problem of viewing marriage/romance as transactional rather than authentic connections. But I am validated by the fact I probably wouldn't personally get a tax break from marriage, but my potential husband probably would. 🫠

Not a good start. Right off the bat; America is a racist country (thought this would reference Loving vs Virginia, but no), America was formed as "a rights distribution mechanism", transactional marriage is specifically an American 'problem'.
It appears Zug has an agenda here and it isn't scholarship. If the book continues in this direction it will be a DNF I am glad I got from the library.
