Summary

Work Balance explores the critical intersection of work and personal life, examining how family leave policies, flexible work arrangements, and care support systems impact individuals and organizations. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as the potential for comprehensive family leave to boost workforce participation and promote gender equality. It also delves into the evolving landscape of telecommuting and other flexible work options, analyzing both their benefits and challenges for employers and employees alike.

 
The book takes a holistic approach, weaving together insights from sociology, economics, psychology, and public policy to provide a nuanced understanding of work-life integration. It progresses through three main sections, first tracing the history and impact of family leave policies, then exploring the rise of flexible job arrangements, and finally scrutinizing the availability and quality of care support systems. Case studies and statistical analyses support the argument that investing in these areas is not just socially responsible but also economically sound, fostering employee well-being and a more productive workforce.

Technological advances are often lauded as unbiased and fair. But in Weapons of Math Destruction (2016), data scientist Cathy O’Neil posits that the opposite is true. Today’s world is largely ruled by mathematical algorithms that decide most aspects of life, from education to work, insurance to elections. Existing models have proven to be harmful. They promote inequalities by favoring the wealthy and the privileged and pushing minorities and poor people further down. These models, by being invisible, unregulated, and indisputable, form Weapons of Math Destruction fueled by the Big Data that could divide the world even more if left unchecked.

    How inflation and deflation fears shape American democracy. 
 
 
 
Many foundational moments in American economic history—the establishment of paper money, wartime price controls, the rise of the modern Federal Reserve—occurred during financial panics as prices either inflated or deflated sharply. The government's decisions in these moments, intended to control price fluctuations, have produced both lasting effects and some of the most contentious debates in the nation's history. 
 
 
 
A sweeping history of the United States' economy and politics, Shock Values reveals how the American state has been shaped by a massive, ever-evolving effort to insulate its economy from the real and perceived dangers of price fluctuations. Carola Binder narrates how the pains of rising and falling prices have brought lasting changes for every generation of Americans. And with each brush with price instability, the United States has been reinvented—not as a more perfect union, but as a reflection of its most recent failures. 
 
 
 
Shock Values tells the untold story of prices and price stabilization in the United States. Expansive and enlightening, Binder recounts the interest-group politics, legal battles, and economic ideas that have shaped a nation from the dawn of the republic to the present.
