Big Love, Big Trouble
Big Love es una serie nueva de televisión en HBO sobre un hombre y sus tres esposas en Utah. Yo aún no lo he visto (no tengo televisión de pago), pero por lo visto ya ha empezado a crear polémica.
Alex me envió hace unos días este artículo en el que Jonathan Rauch comenta el tema.
A mí me ha sorprendido esto:
"Here is something else to consider: As far as I've been able to determine, no polygamous society has ever been a true liberal democracy, in anything like the modern sense. As societies move away from hierarchy and toward equal opportunity, they leave polygamy behind. They monogamize as they modernize. That may be a coincidence, but it seems more likely to be a logical outgrowth of the arithmetic of polygamy."
No se me había ocurrido nunca, pero parece que es verdad, ¿no? (excepto en Holanda, boo!)
