Winning the War on Poverty
Author: Brian L. Fife
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 144083282X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Applying lessons from history to the reality of poverty today in the United States—the most affluent country in the world—this book analyzes contributing factors to poverty and proposes steps to relieve people affected by it. American history is replete with efforts to alleviate poverty. While some efforts have resulted in at least partial success, others have not, because poverty is a multifaceted, complicated phenomenon with no simple solution. Winning the War on Poverty studies the history of poverty relief efforts in the United States dating to the nineteenth century, debunking misperceptions about the poor and tackling the problem of the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor. It highlights the ideological differences between liberal and conservative beliefs and includes insights drawn from a well-rounded group of disciplines including political science, history, sociology, economics, and public health. Premised on the idea that only the lessons of history can help policymakers to recognize that the United States has a persistent poverty problem that is much worse than it is in many other democracies, the book suggests an 18-point plan to substantively address this dilemma. Its vision for reform does not pander to any particular ideology or political party; rather, the objective of this book is to explain how the United States can win the war on poverty in the short term.

Re-Uniting the States
Author: Matthew-John Calvin
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489724710
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Ever since the election of the morally challenged Bill Clinton in 1992, extreme elements in both political parties have been driving deep wedges into America. Re-Uniting The States explains the most troubling issues that are dividing Americans, and charts a path to moderation, compromise, and agreement that will restore bipartisan harmony and fulfill the vision of the brave Christians who won independence for America and gave us a world-leading structure of democratic government. Our revolutionary Founders and our visionary Framers of the Constitution relied upon proven Christian principles, and author Matthew-John Calvin shows us how we can learn from their original concepts to guide America securely onto the safe middle of the political road that they originally charted for our blessed nation. Re-Uniting The States also expresses concern about the extent of political and judicial power being exercised by Roman Catholics and Jews. All should bear in mind the wise words of Abraham Lincoln: “We should be too big to take offence and too noble to give it.” The Founders of this nation and the Framers of the Constitution were firmly committed to advancing Protestant Christian principles, but they were equally determined to welcome to America persons of all faiths and beliefs, so long as they understand and support the values that are the foundation of America.

The Battles that Made Abraham Lincoln
Author: Larry Tagg
Publisher: Grub Street Publishers
ISBN: 1611211271
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 661
Book Description
A timely look at the atmosphere of political hostility surrounding the Civil War, and the venom faced by America’s sixteenth president. Today, Abraham Lincoln is a beloved American icon, widely considered to be our best president. It was not always so. This book takes a look at what Lincoln’s contemporaries actually thought and said about him during his lifetime, when political hostilities, and ultimately civil war, raged. The era in which our sixteenth president lived and governed was the most rough-and-tumble in the history of American politics. The hostility behind the criticism aimed at Lincoln by the great men of his time, on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, is startling, the spectacular prejudice against him often shocking for its cruelty, intensity, and unrelenting vigor. The plain truth is that Lincoln was deeply reviled by many in his time. This book is both an entertaining read and a well-researched, serious look at the political context that begat the president’s predicament. Lincoln’s humanity has been unintentionally trivialized by some historians and writers who have hidden away the real man in a patina of bronze. This book helps us better understand the man he was, and how history is better and more clearly viewed through a long-distance lens. “Not the warm and fuzzy portrait we’re used to seeing . . . An eye-opening study, the first of its kind to focus on what Lincoln’s contemporaries really thought of him. On the other hand, this is not mean-spirited Lincoln-bashing . . . Tagg assesses his presidency through the social and political context of mid-19th century America. It was a time, for example, when ‘the rabid press routinely destroyed the reputations of public men,’ when the stature of the presidency, ‘stained by feeble performances from a string of the poorest presidents in the nation’s history,’ had plunged over decades.” —Civil War Times Magazine
