I'm saying that giving one man one wife makes him work really hard and desire greater net-productivity, so that he can support and protect at least two people. That same man doesn't work harder, if you give him two wives. Each wife just gets less support and protection. And some other guy works less, as he then has zero wives. Productivity correlates with monogamy.
That's why polygamous cultures usually get quickly overwhelmed by monogamous ones, and why the habit has been dying out.
