Harvard Rejects Case For Marriage Out of Political Bias

This article in the National Review suggests that Harvard's publishing house refused to publish a book titled The Case of Marriage out of a political bias for feminist orthodoxy rather than the reasons the publishing house's board originally stated: that they believed the book failed to provide evidence of casual benefits of marriage. Now, though, researchers claim to have proven those benefits: For the first time in the history of research on marriage, Ginther and Zovodny appear to have successfully shown that the "marriage premium" — the tendency of married individuals to make more money than single people — is an actual effect of marriage, and not just a function of a preference shown by both employers and potential spouses for people with qualities likely to bring about success.
