In an agrarian society children are assets. In a technological society children are liabilities.

It's more about the shift from mass production where labour dominates to a capital intensive mode of production. In the former you have many products with average rates of return, in the latter you have a massive upfront cost expecting big returns. People child rearing matches this, in the first they have a ton of kids in the second they pool all the 'investment' into one kid
Are you trying to tell me that the mode of production in material life determines the general character of the social, political, and spiritual processes of life? 🤨
