What Are Children For?: On Ambivalence and Choice
Whether to have children, treated as a genuine question rather than a settled preference.
Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman examine the ambivalence around parenthood among people who can choose it, working through the philosophical and cultural arguments rather than the economics. They take the reluctance seriously without dismissing the case for children, and the book is aimed at readers actually undecided rather than at either camp.

Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman, What Are Children For?: On Ambivalence and Choice is not a book for me right now (thus I haven’t read it), but the authors are very smart and thus it is worthy of mention.
