Summary

"Social Welfare Programs" offers a comprehensive analysis of social safety nets and their effectiveness in poverty alleviation. It critically examines welfare initiatives like TANF and SNAP, challenging assumptions that increased funding automatically reduces poverty. The book argues for a holistic approach, addressing the root causes of poverty and minimizing unintended consequences, such as dependency. Did you know that welfare programs can sometimes create disincentives to work, a key aspect explored within?

 
The book is structured to provide a logical exploration of this complex topic. It begins with foundational concepts, then analyzes key welfare initiatives, and concludes with policy recommendations. It looks at both the economic and sociological factors that impact welfare programs, including the impact on family structure and community dynamics. A comparative study of different welfare models across various countries highlights best practices.

 
The analysis relies on empirical data, government reports, and case studies, taking an interdisciplinary approach by connecting economics, sociology, and political science. This provides a balanced view of the debates surrounding social welfare policy and alternative approaches. It avoids simplistic narratives by delving into the assumptions shaping individual behavior.

    The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.

The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic, life-altering experience. If you've experienced a sudden loss, your life becomes instantly unrecognizable. In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks.

This gentle workbook can help guide you toward a place of healing and solace. 
 
 
 
The Traumatic Loss Workbook offers an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to support you through the grief process, so you can move forward after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. You'll also discover strategies for dealing with sudden "grief attacks," and learn how to navigate common emotional triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries.
