Sexual Freedom and Its Impact on Economic Growth and Prosperity

“Not everyone will agree with Bose's prescription for a free society. However, in a decade when low birth rates and population collapse are gaining attention, expect more introspection like this. Bose argues that choices we have been taught to think of as private shape our economic future and even determine the survival of our civilization.”


—Joy Buchanan, associate professor of economics, finance, and quantitative analysis, Samford University, Brock School of Business





“Bose's book is a tour de force on ‘sexual freedom’ in society. He builds on previous work about economic and political freedom, describing their relationship to well-being. He traces thoughts on sexual freedom by prominent thinkers and develops an ‘index of sexual freedom’ based on definitions of sex crimes and legal protections for marriage. The result is a provocative discussion of the relationship between prosperity and sexual restraint by individuals, society, and public policy.”


—D. Eric Schansberg, professor of economics, Indiana University Southeast





“Dr. Feler Bose provides fascinating insight on an important, yet rarely discussed topic. He patiently and systematically offers resource data that creates a compelling argument that sexual freedom directly impacts economic progress. Utilizing pertinent case studies and historical expertise, Bose paints a moral landscape that serves as a cyclical harbinger of demise for future generations. Freedom, on any front, does not come without cost. Dr. Bose dares to ask the question, ‘How much are we willing to pay?’”
