Rövid leírás:
Sex is politics. Peel away layers of romantic assumption and Victorian nicety, and it's obvious: sex is simply a specific instance of the general political question, Under what conditions do people seek and grant one another access to their physical selves? This is a book about the politics of heterosexual sex, a book about the law -- the rules of sexual engagement -- and a book about the history of sexual relations. Sex, the authors convincingly show, shorn of social presumption is a question of bargaining -- hard bargaining over the benefits and burdens of sexual interaction, the empowerment or disempowerment of the participants. The authors discuss Western history's changing regulatory schemes of sexual consent, sexual commerce, and sexual community, pointing out flaws and success, to conclude with their own prescription for a new sexual order for the next century.

Men and women have always bargained for sex. In Hard Bargains, philosopher-lawyer Linda Hirshman and legal historian Jane Larson provide the first complete analysis of power in heterosexual relationships, combining an eye-opening legal history of sexual regulation with thought-provoking predictions of what the future might bring.
Hirshman and Larson tell a riveting tale that spans the centuries--from early accounts of adulterers hanging from the gibbet, to the impact of the Kinsey Reports and Hugh Hefner's playboy philosophy, to the Swinging Sixties judge who argued in favour of sex with eleven year-olds. The book examines the factors that have shaped our notions of sex, from Catholic teaching to the theories of Sigmund Freud, and it explores the Supreme Court decisions of the last few decades that revolutionized the politics of sex. And Hard Bargains not only provides a deep understanding of historical and current disputes, it also offers striking predictions of what sexual bargaining will look like in the future--rape laws replaced by laws of sexual autonomy, adultery subjected to breach of contract action, fornicators responsible for each other's rent, prostitution considered an unfair labor practice. These are a few of the surprising--and surprisingly workable--solutions the authors foresee in the 21st century.
Hard Bargains takes a forthright and level-headed look at all aspects of one of the biggest controversies in contemporary American society--heterosexual sex--and delivers a radically new perspective on the sexual lives of women and men.
"This is well-written, well researched history of the public regulation of sexual behavior. The authors' outspokenness and radical slant will make this a controversial book, but it is not orthodox or doctrinaire, and the forcefulness, clarity, adn skill with which the authors defend their position will challenge skeptics. Although there is much in the book with which I disagree, it is a good and interesting book and deserves to make a splash."--Richard A. Posner, Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals
