Med tal og fortællinger viser Kaare Dybvad Bek i denne bog, at import af arbejdskraft næppe er den store økonomiske gevinst, som nogle politikere og arbejdsgiverorganisationer hævder. Samtidig skaber den fortsatte indvandring problemer for sammenholdet i daginstitutioner, på skoler og i vores lokalsamfund. Vi er i gang med et stort socialt eksperiment, som vi ikke kender konsekvenserne af, mener Dybvad.

Father Charles Coughlin (October 25, 1891 - October 27, 1979) was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. In this recording, Father Charles Coughlin discusses the Federal Reserve Bank and its impact on the American economy.

International security and American supremacy are at stake—and now is the time for the US to take action. China's global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn.

From San Francisco to Shanghai, many of the world's most innovative places are highly unequal, with the benefits going to a small few. Rather than simply asking how we can create more high-tech cities and nations, Innovation for the Masses focuses on places that manage to foster innovation while also delivering the benefits more widely and equally. In this book, economist Neil Lee draws on case studies of Taiwan, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland to set out how innovation can be successfully balanced toward equity.

The United States' ignominious exit from Afghanistan in 2021 topped two decades of failure and devastation wrought by the war on terror. A long-running “fight against migration” has stoked chaos and rights abuses while pushing migrants onto more dangerous routes. For its part, the war on drugs has failed to dampen narcotics demand while fueling atrocities from Mexico to the Philippines. Why do such “failing” policies persist for so long? And why do politicians keep feeding the very crises they say they are combating?

One of the great mysteries of Australian life is that a land of sweeping plains, with one of the lowest population densities on the planet, has a shortage of land for houses. As a result, Sydney’s median house price is the second most expensive on Earth, after Hong Kong’s. The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations – between those who have a house and those who don't. Alan Kohler tells the story of how we got into this mess – and how we might get out of it.

The motivating idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is radically simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But does this simple idea have the potential to radically transform our society? This book provides the average citizen with all the information they need to understand current debates about the UBI. It recounts the history of the idea, from its origins in the writings of eighteenth century radical intellectuals to contemporary discussions centered on unemployment caused by technological advances such as artificial intelligence.

In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the story of how the neoliberal economic model came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric was elected president, vowing that "If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave." More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat.

From the close of trading on Tuesday, October 13, 1987, to the close of trading on October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") fell 769 points or 31 percent. On October 19, 1987, alone, the Dow fell by 508 points or 22.6 percent. Since the early 1920's, only the drop of 12.8 percent in the Dow on October 28, 1929 and the fall of 11.7 percent the following day, which together constituted the Crash of 1929, approached the October 19 decline in magnitude. The events of October demonstrated an unusual frailty in the markets.

È giunto il momento di smontare uno dei luoghi comuni più duraturo della storia repubblicana, ovvero quello secondo il quale il fascismo è morto e sepolto da fine aprile 1945. Già nel secondo dopoguerra, infatti, la dottrina della continuità dello Stato riportò ai vertici di prefetture e polizia personaggi di schietta fede fascista. Poi si è permessa la ricostituzione di un partito fascista come il Movimento sociale italiano che, tra manganello e doppiopetto, ha avuto un ruolo negli scontri di piazza e ha contribuito perfino all’elezione di presidenti della Repubblica (da Antonio Segni a Giovanni Leone).

In a society marked by extreme inequality of income and opportunity, why should economists care about how people feel? The truth is that feelings of well-being are critical metrics that predict future life outcomes. In this timely and innovative account, economist Carol Graham argues for the importance of hope—little studied in economics at present—as an independent dimension of well-being.

Da oltre trent'anni l'Italia vede attuarsi periodicamente soluzioni "irregolari" delle crisi politiche. Ciampi, Monti, Draghi. Da tempo i presidenti della Repubblica si regolano come se fosse in vigore da noi la Costituzione della Quinta Repubblica francese, o forse pensano che sia ritornato lo Statuto Albertino: convocano "qualcuno" che metta le cose a posto.
