• What does Love have to do with Economics?
    Oct 13 2022

    How is our everyday thinking influenced by economics? And how does this affect our love life?

I will show you why it is so important to take a moment and reflect on those topics, and how this can combat jealousy and insecurity in ethical non-monogamy.
