In Our Hands
Author: Charles Murray
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442260726
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
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.

Book Description
#1 Bestselling New Poetry AnthologyPain & Renewal features a collection of incredible voices -- from Pulitzer & Pushcart prize winners to brand new poets, it's filled with moving poetry about the highs and lows of the human experience. From love and loss to death and redemption -- and beyond."There are as many forms of pain as there are paths to renewal, and I can think of no better way to explore this than through collected stories of people from around the world. In the same way the broader themes of a good book are not conveyed in one line but through many small and dispersed instances, the broader truths of pain and renewal bare their patterns when the struggles and victories of the individual are placed alongside those of the many. Read from cover to cover, I believe many of these patterns can be found in this anthology." - Brian Geiger (Editor)

The Underclass Revisited
Author: Charles A. Murray
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute
ISBN: 9780844771311
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Murray examines the current state of the underclass, which he defines as the population cut off from mainstream American life not because they are poor, but because of their problematic relationships with productive work, family, crime and community. He examines statistics on three 'markers' of underclass status - illegitimacy, criminality, and the dropout rate from the labor force - for four checkpoints from 1954 to 1997, and concludes that even at a time when many general and social indicators appear encouraging, nothing really changed for the underclass. They have disappeared from the national radar screen because they have been simultaneously subsidized and walled off through a growing use of 'custodial democracy', but Murray questions the ability of the U.S. to retain its political and social culture in the presence of a permanent - and possibly growing - underclass.

Book Description
"The most talked-about education book this semester." —New York Times From the author of Coming Apart, and based on a series of controversial Wall Street Journal op-eds, this landmark manifesto gives voice to what everyone knows about talent, ability, and intelligence but no one wants to admit. With four truths as his framework, Charles Murray, the bestselling coauthor of The Bell Curve, sweeps away the hypocrisy, wishful thinking, and upside-down priorities that grip America’s educational establishment. •Ability varies. Children differ in their ability to learn, but America’s educational system does its best to ignore this. •Half of the children are below average. Many children cannot learn more than rudimentary reading and math. Yet decades of policies have required schools to divert resources to unattainable goals. •Too many people are going to college. Only a fraction of students struggling to get a degree can profit from education at the college level. •America’s future depends on how we educate the academically gifted. It is time to start thinking about the kind of education needed by the young people who will run the country.
