Tax credits, childcare benefits, school vouchers, flextime for parents, parental leaves--all have spawned what journalist Elinor Burkett calls a "culture of parental privilege." The Baby Boon charts the backlash against this movement and asks for a reevaluation of social policy. Burkett's cause isn't served by her sarcasm, which leads so easily to exaggeration and strained humor. She proposes, for example, that there exists an unwritten but widely understood "Ten Commandments of workplace etiquette in family-friendly America," which includes items such as "Thou shalt volunteer to work late so that mothers can leave at 2:00 p.m. to watch their sons play soccer" and "Thou shalt never ask for a long leave to write a book, travel, or fulfill thy heart's desire because no desire other than children could possibly be worth thy company's inconvenience." Burkett is more convincing when citing real-life examples, such as a legal secretary who applied for flextime and was told that benefit was available only to parents, or the case of Sarah, a childless travel agent in Seattle who invented a fake daughter, put her picture on her desk at work, and proceeded to take long lunches ("trips to the pediatrician") and leave work early for "family emergencies." Ironically, as Burkett describes, it was the search for equity that inspired the various pro-parent benefits of the "family-friendly workplace." A new attention to childless workers does seem to be in order--permitting them to substitute some benefits for others, for instance, or to receive bonuses instead, and to work in environments that support their choices not to have children. --Regina Marler

Book Description

Who stays late at the office when Mom leaves for a soccer match? Whose dollars pay for the tax credits, childcare benefits, and school vouchers that only parents can utilize? Who is forced to take those undesirable weekend business trips that Dad refuses? The answer: Adults without children -- most of them women -- have shouldered more than their share of the cost of family-friendly America. Until now.

"Equal Pay for Equal Work" is one of the foundations of modern American work life. But workers without children do not reap the same rewards as do their colleagues who are parents. Instead, as veteran journalist Elinor Burkett reveals, the past decade has seen the most massive redistribution of wealth since the War on Poverty -- this time not from rich to poor but from nonparents, no matter how modest their means, to parents, no matter how affluent. Parents today want their child and their Lexus, too -- which accounts for the new culture of parental privilege that Burkett aptly calls "the baby boon."

Burkett reports from the front lines of the workplace: from the hallowed newsroom of The New York Times to the floor of a textile factory in North Carolina to a hospital in Boston. She exposes a simmering backlash against perks for parents, from workers who are losing their tempers and fighting for their rights. She spells out how tax breaks for families with six-figure incomes are not available to childless people earning half as much. And she tells the dramatic story of how pro-family conservatives and feminists became strange bedfellows on the issue of pro-family rights, leading to an increase in workplace and government entitlements for parents -- at the same time as the childless poor lost their public benefits.

Americans are on a demographic collision course between the growing numbers of mothers in the workforce and the swelling ranks of a new interest group: childless adults. Armed with hard data and grassroots reporting, Elinor Burkett points the way to a more equitable future. With an inside look at what some companies are already doing to redress the grievances of childless workers and a hard assessment of what the truly needy -- children and adults -- require in order to survive, Burkett fires the first shot in the battle to come.

4 out of 5 stars Brilliant, But With An Achilles' Heel.......2007-09-26

Elinor Burkett is my favorite "issues" writer. She maps the connections between policy, ideology and activism like nobody else. She can be likable and funny and even respectful while debunking the pretensions and prejudices that stand in the way of social justice. And it almost goes without saying that she is pretty fearless: she's a grand, politically incorrect narrative-buster in an age when more and more of the media seems to be resorting to tired pieties of all stripes. All of which makes it doubly disappointing when her message seems to stray into the same emotional, impossible-to-defend territory that she punctures in others.

The dual premise of this book is that "middle-class" mothers are greedily taking resources that should be used for poor mothers and children, AND that the people they are receiving these resources from are childless middle-class women and men who would be willing to offer these resources to the poor, but not to other middle-class mothers.

The idea that poor women and children are somehow not only deprived of financial support but specifically deprived by middle-class mommies is just wrongheaded. Those reliant on social services -- welfare recipients -- are a burden on society primarily because they don't form two-parent households. Having worked in social services for twenty years, I can't think of many welfare recipients I've met who don't maintain relationships with their childrens' fathers but also don't formalize those relationships -- by choice -- so they can continue living off tax dollars instead. If you're going to write an entire book about the needs of poor families, it's willfully blind to ignore this reality, unpleasant as it may be. And if you blame somebody else in these parents' steads, that's just scapegoating.

As a childless person, I certainly do resent having to pay more than my share. I'm not denying that childless people get short shrift. But it's the social, and medical, and crime-related problems created by the underclass that actually impacts my community, my quality of life, and my assets. Furthermore, I don't know many so-called middle-class people today who have health insurance they can count on, or afford -- yet the families on welfare I see have excellent and more-accessible healthcare than I do. We've created a system that benefits only the wealthy and those who won't support themselves: anyone in-between is getting screwed. Why blame this on middle-class mothers? I gave the book high marks anyway because the discussion is compelling. But its foundational economic argument simply doesn't ring true.



4 out of 5 stars It's Growing On Me!.......2007-05-16

I very much have a love/hate relationship with The Baby Boon as in I loved the second half and hated the first. Burkett explores an immense list of how the childless are "cheated" and if nothing else it's great food for thought. The politics in the book are definitely slanted and in more than 200 pages of how the government misaddresses these family issues she only mentions the Christian right three times (the same amount of time she happens to mention father's raping daughters). Overall, the book targets how family progressive taxes, fundings, and institutions target the middle class (who for the most part parent by choice) who really don't need the help compared to the poor. And that a good chunk of the support for the taxes, fundings, and institutions come from the childfree - a hugely growing part of the American population. I do confess that my relationship with this book really began to flounder 50-pages in when I saw the ever lovely Ann Coulter featured on the back for "advance praise."

I find the book problematic because much of the research is simply lousy. For example, in the first half of the book she visits a textile factory in North Carolina that had one one of the best child/daycares available for parents. To display how unwanted this is and what a burden some workers find this to be (as without the daycare everyone would roughly make a $1 more per hour, and Burkett insists that the poor and people of color don't ever use the day care) she goes to an unnamed grocery store and speaks with four unnamed women. In the world of research, I'm not really buying into this and couldn't get over why couldn't she have found four people willing to give their names or at least be able to back up the claim through attending some form of union or auxiliary meeting. At times like this the research really seemed to lack substance.

After the research, a point she belabors through the book is how parental tax breaks targets the middle class and doesn't help those who most need it (i.e. the poor). While a good point she never provides any examples or goes into it more than this. Instead, she discusses how childfree professor are cheated because those professors with children can enroll their children for free. The question: why can't childfree professors utilize this free enrollment as well for nieces and nephews, or even to give away as a scholarship? Certainly an interesting question but what percentage of childfree people does this effect and unless these scholarships would specifically go to the poor - what about them?

Because of the research and choice of examples it was difficult reading but half way in I increasingly found myself pleasantly surprised. Burkett started to provide more substance and cultivated her argument within the second half. She begins to explore the social stigma of being childfree, certain workplace activities that are clearly biased, as well as a list of companies that have remedied certain politics to be more considered of the childfree. One idea throughout the whole book was the concept of family and what exactly it means. A problem she discusses is that the nuclear family is still privileged in comparison to any non-traditional family. At times I was concerned the book was taking on an anti-family edge but it was salvaged by the end. Not a bad read, but a lot of technical and statistical information that I honestly don't trust to be 100% accurate simply based on some of her research.

Book in very good condition, priced nice and low. Used for a book club. I enjoyed viewpoint of author but not everyone in our book club did even though none of us have or plan to have children!

4 out of 5 stars Missing Pages!.......2007-01-17

This is an excellently crafted book, but there are two places in which the printer left out pages, for instance I see page 54 after reading page 51. This amounts to four missing pages. When I complained to Amazon about the missing pages, they just sent me another copy -- with the same error. I'm keeping it to pass on to someone else, even though they will be charging me for it.

5 out of 5 stars Well-crafted, well-researched and fair-minded........2006-05-11

Ms. Burkett's main issue is with handouts based solely on procreation, without regard to income. Even if you beleive in the socialist ideal of giving according to one's need, and therefore handing money and higher benefits packages to parents, Ms. Burkett makes you think twice about how our current structure gives those perks to the wealthy, at the expense of the childless of all income levels. Even socialism cannot justify that.

    Book Description

    Roots of Reform offers a sweeping revision of our understanding of the rise of the regulatory state in the late nineteenth century. Sanders argues that politically mobilized farmers were the driving force behind most of the legislation that increased national control over private economic power. She demonstrates that farmers from the South, Midwest, and West reached out to the urban laborers who shared their class position and their principal antagonist—northeastern monopolistic industrial and financial capital—despite weak electoral support from organized labor.

    Based on new evidence from legislative records and other sources, Sanders shows that this tenuous alliance of "producers versus plutocrats" shaped early regulatory legislation, remained powerful through the populist and progressive eras, and developed a characteristic method of democratic state expansion with continued relevance for subsequent reform movements.

    Roots of Reform is essential reading for anyone interested in this crucial period of American political development.

    3 out of 5 stars Dry, Overpriced, Adequate Information.......2007-04-26

    Like many textbooks, this one is rather dry. Sometimes it seems that there must be some special training course that authors for textbooks must complete to learn how to be so uninteresting. Also, like virtually all college texts, it is extremely overpriced. The textbook industry seems like a great big scam. It is always cranking out new books with relatively little new information but great big price tags.

    The text is adequate. The material it contains is accurate and understandable.

    If you need this book, I recommend finding a used copy.

    1 out of 5 stars Horrible Reading.......2005-04-21

    My teacher assigned this book for my Labor Relations course and I wish he picked out a better book. The definitions are awful and you have to read them like 3 times until you fully understand what information the book is trying to provide. There was one part that really made me think that this book was thrown together in a couple of minutes. One sentence in this book stated that, "Southwest airlines was not unionized." My aviation management teacher saw something wrong with this statement because Southwest is heavily unionized. I think the author had a particular issue in his life and was trying to smurf it off in his book. This book is definately not for beginning students, unless you have time to decifer what the author is trying to say..... I could talk more about how terrible this book is, but I think you get the point
    P.S. There were some really bad run on sentences in this book

    1 out of 5 stars One of the worst textbooks around.......2005-03-28

    Normally I don't have problems reading the texts schools use but this one is the worst book I've ever had to read. My instructor provided outlines of each chapter that were provided by the author. Without those I would not have been able to make heads or tails of this book.The author needs to ake this book less dry and more learning friendly.

    3 out of 5 stars Dry Reading.......2003-01-27

    Sometimes books can't help but to cover dry material. This book does not excell past being extremely dry. The book is well documented, thorough, and comprehensive. The eight edition is aesthically pleasing, but still does not seem to achieve the ability to make itself an easy read. I would highly recommend another book for this study, or using this one as background information for study.

      Book Description

      This study examines one organization from the radical left of the 1920s and 1930s: the American Fund for Public Service. Little known today, but infamous in its time, the American Fund represented a united front of anticapitalists--anarchists, socialists, communists, and left-liberals--which attempted to revitalize the left in order to end capitalism and, therefore, war. Financed by Charles Garland, an eccentric, 21-year-old Harvard dropout, the Fund performed the difficult task of allocating relatively meager resources among the most "promising" radical ventures, typically militant labor organizations. The philanthropy's directors represented a who's who of the labor left of the period: Roger Baldwin, Norman Thomas, Scott Nearing, James Weldon Johnson, and more. The fund anticipated philanthropies later in the century which meant to challenge the status quo beyond reformism. This study will be of interest to scholars of labor relations, radical politics, American history, and philanthropy.

            Book Description

            In the 1930s, fewer than one in one hundred U.S. labor union members were African American. By 1980, the figure was more than one in five. Black and Blue explores the politics and history that led to this dramatic integration of organized labor. In the process, the book tells a broader story about how the Democratic Party unintentionally sowed the seeds of labor's decline.

            The labor and civil rights movements are the cornerstones of the Democratic Party, but for much of the twentieth century these movements worked independently of one another. Paul Frymer argues that as Democrats passed separate legislation to promote labor rights and racial equality they split the issues of class and race into two sets of institutions, neither of which had enough authority to integrate the labor movement.

            From this division, the courts became the leading enforcers of workplace civil rights, threatening unions with bankruptcy if they resisted integration. The courts' previously unappreciated power, however, was also a problem: in diversifying unions, judges and lawyers enfeebled them financially, thus democratizing through destruction. Sharply delineating the double-edged sword of state and legal power, Black and Blue chronicles an achievement that was as problematic as it was remarkable, and that demonstrates the deficiencies of race- and class-based understandings of labor, equality, and power in America.
