Sinopse

Wealth Gap Widens explores the escalating income inequality trends in modern economies since 1980, revealing it's not an inevitable outcome but a consequence of specific policy choices. The book argues that decisions favoring capital over labor have significantly widened the wealth gap, challenging the notion that inequality is merely a byproduct of economic growth. Examining globalization, technological advancements, and policy impacts, the book emphasizes how escalating inequality undermines social cohesion and economic stability.

 
The analysis unfolds across three sections, beginning with foundational concepts like the Gini coefficient. It then investigates key drivers such as globalization and taxation policies, utilizing international databases and econometric techniques to identify causal effects. The book further analyzes the consequences of high inequality on economic growth and social mobility.

 
Examples include how tax policies can either exacerbate or mitigate wealth concentration. This book offers valuable insights for policymakers, economists, and citizens interested in political economics and economic policy. It relies on empirical evidence and avoids simplistic explanations. By providing a nuanced, evidence-based approach, Wealth Gap Widens informs both academic and policy debates, empowering readers to engage in discussions about economic fairness and demand accountability.

Girls & Sex - Navigating the...

Peggy Orenstein

The author of the New York Times bestseller Cinderella Ate My Daughter offers a clear-eyed picture of the new sexual landscape girls face in the post-princess stage—high school through college—and reveals how they are negotiating it. 
A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. Even in this age of helicopter parenting, the mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with over seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world. 
While the media has focused—often to sensational effect—on the rise of casual sex and the prevalence of rape on campus, in Girls and Sex Peggy Orenstein brings much more to the table. She examines the ways in which porn and all its sexual myths have seeped into young people’s lives; what it means to be the “the perfect slut” and why many girls scorn virginity; the complicated terrain of hookup culture and the unfortunate realities surrounding assault. In Orenstein’s hands these issues are never reduced to simplistic “truths;” rather, her powerful reporting opens up a dialogue on a potent, often silent, subtext of American life today—giving readers comprehensive and in-depth information with which to understand, and navigate, this complicated new world.
