Dollars and Sex unpacks the mysteries of everyday life as they pertain to the titallating topics of love, sex, and relationships.

Economist Dr. Marina Adshade applies the useful models and terminology of economics to analyse mate selection, the sex trade, and the institution of marriage, holding a mirror up to our collective behaviour and telling us fascinating and often shocking stories about ourselves: why some people are more prone to infidelity than others, if online dating is truly effective, or whether money really can buy love.

Dr. Marina Adshade is an internationally recognised academic scholar with published articles on the historic role of women in the workforce and on the origin of marriage institutions. The concept behind Dollars and Sex is now a blog with more than 300,000 readers and a crowded course Dr. Adshade teaches at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. She writes a monthly column for the Intelligencer section of the print and online version of New York Magazine (1.8 million readers each month), and her writing appears regularly in The Globe and Mail newspaper's Economy Lab, which has more than 1 million visitors each month. Her posts are consistently among the most read and most commented on.
