The Societal Impact of Polygamy

Posted on Saturday 8 April 2006

I find it interesting to reason about the correlations and consequences of polygamous marriage versus gay marriage. If you’re interested in the topic, I found this article by Jonathan Rauch to be very well-written and informative regardless of your opinion on the matter. Most articles on the topic end up with more an emotional or religious debate. Rauch’s article, by contrast, takes a more objective look at what would be the likely societal impacts of legalizing polygamy based on empirical evidence. If you’re interested in the issue, I’d recommend reading the article.

    The article raises some interesting points, but I think if we just bring back the draft then we can overcome all of them.
