Key Notes
model
He names war, revolution, marrying up, and immigration to a more mobile place as traditional or modern mechanisms of social mobility.
model
War begins when population pressure creates discarded young men who raid other societies for women; property, marriage, hierarchy, and male status then rise together.
model
Elite families are structurally driven to have many children because inheritance, marriage, and reproduction are how they maintain power and privilege.
diagnosis
Jiang says modern marital norms treat a woman's body as belonging to her husband, whereas for most of human history a woman's body was understood as her own.
