"The best new books on the family begin with 'established' facts and then show them to be false--or at least complicate. Susan Mayer began 'What Money Can't Buy: Family Income and Children's Life Chances' with the belief that poor children achieve less than other children primarily because their families lack money. To her surprise, her research convinced her that money alone does not buy material or psychological well-being for children.
