"There is ONE social phenomenon that ALWAYS occurs when females are at a premium. Humans will always trade on scarcity value and many women will find that they can fare much better in such circumstances by satisfying the needs of more than one man - many of whom will be prepared to pay the going rate."
Always? What evidence do you have?
Look, I'm not sure where your question comes from, but human nature, and mankind's universal range of behaviors when dealing with the allocation and use of limited resources with alternative uses has been studied for centuries and are fairly well understood and extremely well documented.
I can't do your reading for you, but in the interest of getting you set right with minimum aggrivation, I think you can go directly to Tom Sowell's "Basic Economics". It's a short read and very accessible. If you want more, you can go on to his "Applied Economics".
However, from the tone of your post, I think you might want LESS, however, and in that case, I can't help.
