This book explores why love is so problematic and violence so endemic, tracing these human problems to a systematic disruption of intimate relationships. From the Rome of Augustus to the present, patriarchy is at the root of these problems, as well as racism and sexism. Equality in love lies at the roots of democracy, and political resistance is the same resistance that couples summon in loving.
