You might find it consoling, then, to hear that I know of at least two
libertarian economics professors who have worked the show into their lessons,
all with the aim of demonstrating to their students exactly how *un*romantic
(or, at least, how dreary and uncomfortable) life was only a very short while
ago. One of those two reports that he uses the show as a counter to the
claim that modern market societies commodify and exploit women. Both
professors find the show makes those points very clearly and convincingly to
their students.
