In France, 6 per cent of young adult women (aged 35–44) claimed to be in a LAT relationship, followed by Austria with 5 per cent. It might be hypothesised that these are countries with a greater degree of de-institutionalisation of the monolithic image of the housewife marriage mentioned above. However, I have some doubts about the meaning given to LAT relationships, because they might easily be confused with a boyfriend relationship instead of a deliberately chosen LAT relationship. The incidence of LAT relationships is generally higher for the younger women (aged 25–34), which again gives the impression of a diffusion of emerging trends from the younger generation, although an intra-cohort analysis would be needed to confirm this.

So to expect monetary incentives to work is to imagine that people are of the kind that regards money as a relevant value in the relevant domain. This mental operation presupposes certain ends, and their contextual social legitimacy, as well as positing a certain (optimising) relationship between means and ends. This argument suggests that the rationality mistake is an instance of the morality mistake, with the rider that the mistake has two aspects (the false attribution of forms of reasoning, and the false attribution of values).

In terms of the evolution of the intellectual project initiated by Duncan and Edwards (1999), this implies that the unveiling in this book of the ‘morality 16 Alan Carling mistake’ is not the addition of a new dimension but rather a generalisation of the previous line of attack: an embedding of the rationality mistake in a larger solecism. Suppose that this argument about the mistakenly simplified complexity of social agents is conjoined with the earlier points about the mistakenly simplified variety of social context.
