Taraban, Orion2024
Book
"If everyone is looking to secure a relationship with their perceived best option, then the perception of value must be at the heart of human coupling. In this groundbreaking work, psychologist Orion Taraban sets forth his economic model of relationships and exposes the often-uncomfortable laws that govern the sexual marketplace. After reading The Value of Others, you'll never look at relationships the same way again."-- Amazon.com.
