Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-07 00:00:00 Eric Campbell Excellent, extremely in-depth analysis of the historical, cultural, economic, and other aspects of prostitution in Nevada. I learned a TON from this book - thank you Brent's, Jackson, and Hausbeck. Lets hope this gets into the national discourse that's influencing prostitution policy.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-09 00:00:00 Mike Haney picked up because 'labor of love' by moira weigel described sex work as anticipating broader trends in the economy and cited 'temporarily yours' as an example of this. i enjoyed 'temporarily yours' a lot and now have a bunch of arlie hochschild and erving goffman on my reading list. academic sociology just hits. re: weigel's point that sex work often leads economic trends, it seems pretty reasonable to see onlyfans, etc, as anticipating what li jin et al. calls the passion economy. i am curious if anyone has tried to derive prognostic or (strategic) forecasting insights from this kind of leading the general economy, and what other economies might also precede the general economy
