Paperback. Etat : Good. Women's equality is one of the great achievements of Western civilization. Yet most American women today do not consider themselves "feminists." Why is the term that describes one of the great chapters in the history of freedom in such disrepute? In Freedom Feminism: Its Surprising History and Why It Matters Today, Christina Hoff Sommers seeks to recover the lost history of American feminism by introducing readers to conservative feminism's forgotten heroines. More importantly, she demonstrates that a modern version of conservative feminism - in which women are free to employ their equal status to pursue happiness in their own distinctive ways - holds the key to a feminist renaissance. "Freedom Feminism" is a primer in the.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. This work covers the major police scandals and controversies of our time and uses them to explore the ethical standards that should govern police commands and individual officers. It discusses the coarsening of life in modern society and parallels to ethical problems in policing, drama of current events, and the glare of public scrutiny. Although the author focuses specifically on the importance of character in law enforcement, the text has broader application to questions of individual character, public trust, corruption, moral training, and ethics education within society at large. Do the trial of O.J. Simpson, the events at Ruby Ridge, the tragedy at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, and the beating of Rodney King reveal a crisis in law enforcement? What are the right and wrong lessons from Ruby Ridge and the trial of O.J. Simpson? How should cops handle issues of personal conscience.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Imagine that the United States were to scrap all its income transfer programs?including Social Security, Medicare, and all forms of welfare?and give every American age twenty-one and older $10,000 a year for life.This is the Plan, a radical new approach to social policy that defies any partisan label. First laid out by Charles Murray a decade ago, the updated edition reflects economic developments since that time. Murray, who previous books include Losing Ground and The Bell Curve, demonstrates that the Plan is financially feasible and the uses detailed analysis to argue that many goals of the welfare state?elimination of poverty, comfortable retirement for everyone, universal access to healthcare?would be better served under the Plan than under the current system. Murray?s goal, shared by Left and Right, is a society in which everyone, including the unluckiest among us, has the opportunity and means to construct a satisfying life. In Our Hands offers a rich and startling new way to think about how that goal might be achieved.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Education has the potential to open incredible doors of opportunity for students. Yet despite unprecedented levels of public school funding and numerous reforms, far too many young people in America's school system today never enjoy the opportunities afforded to students by a quality education. In Education and Opportunity, Michael McShane proposes a market-based approach to education--one that fosters innovation and encourages competition, through charter schools, education savings accounts, and school choice. However, liberalization of the system is not enough. As with any sector of the economy moving from public monopoly to market control, effective stabilizing measures and supporting institutions are also necessary if the system is to be successful. McShane lays out a comprehensive, compelling case for education reform that encourages a marketplace of education options. With new, innovative schooling options, Americans can ensure that their children will receive the high-quality education that is essential for their success.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The panic inspired by the recent financial crisis was fueled by an incomplete understanding of economic history. In a free market system, financial downturns inevitably accompany economic prosperity-but the overall trend is upward progress in living standards and wealth. In Boom and Bust, Alex J. Pollock argues that the free market, despite its ups and downs, offers greater opportunities for growth than any other economic system-including gains in health and longevity, better jobs, broader access to education, and individual liberty.…
