Leaving Women Behind - 09-26-06

2012-04-09T21:48:34.000Z

	Leaving Women Behind - 09-26-06 09-26-06 - The most important economic and social change in the past half-century has been the movement of women into the labor market. Yet our outdated public policies have completely ignored the change. That's the thesis of the new book Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws, which was unveiled at a public forum hosted by the Cato Institute today. According to the new book Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws , our major economic institutions — including tax law, labor law, and employee benefits law, as well as Social Security, and retirement policies — reward families with full-time worker and a stay-at-home spouse and by comparison punish every other arrangement. "These institutions are still designed from top-to-bottom for an Ozzie and Harriet lifestyle," said Kimberley Strassel, editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal and co-author of the book. The book profiles real-life examples of how our nation's laws are making the lives of modern families more difficult than they need to be. The authors then detail a series of reforms needed to bring our institutions in sync with the way people are living their lives in the 21 st Century. Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws was co-authored by Kimberley Strassel, editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal; John C. Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA); and Celeste Colgan, an NCPA senior fellow.	From: NCPAIdeas Views: 101 1 ratings

Eamonn Butler - Milton Friedman - 03-29-12

2012-04-04T17:40:29.000Z

	Eamonn Butler - Milton Friedman - 03-29-12 03-29-12 - Called 'One of the most important economic thinkers of all time' - Milton Friedman changed the world. From free markets in China to the flat taxes of Eastern Europe, from the debate on drugs to interest rate policy, Friedman's skill for vivid argument and ideas led to robust and often successful challenges to the economic and political orthodoxies of his day. Relying on big-picture economic analysis and an insistent faith in human freedom, he never failed to change the terms of the debate. In his book Milton Friedman: A concise guide to the ideas and influence of the free-market economist Dr. Eamonn Butler sets out to explain Friedman's economic and public policy thinking in a straightforward and accessible way for the general reader and student. Dr. Butler explains: How Friedman undermined Keynesianism and the prevailing wisdom of large-scale economic intervention How he demonstrated the true cause of the Great Depression and identified its real culprits What Friedman believed really destroys the value of the money in your pocket and how it can be stopped Friedman's arguments for why regulations and minimum- wage laws actually achieve lower standards and greater poverty Friedman's reasons for why big corporations prefer markets that aren't free, and how high taxation harms the wealthy less than anyone else. With more, too, on democracy, equality, global trade, education, public services and financial crises, this is a concise but comprehensive guide to the influence of a key 20th century thinker. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the economist whose work changed everything. Dr. Eamonn Butler is Director and co-founder of Britain's leading free-market policy think tank, the Adam Smith Institute, and a leading author and broadcaster on economics and social issues. Westminster insiders look forward each week to his wry online commentary on politics and politicians. Eamonn is the winner, with his colleague Dr. Madsen Pirie, of the 2010 National Free Enterprise Award, for the greatest contribution to furthering the market economy. He is Vice-President of the Mont Pelerin Society, an international association of distinguished economists and entrepreneurs, founded in 1947 by the Nobel Prize winner F. A. Hayek. Eamonn is author of books on a wide range of subjects, from economics through psychology to politics. These include easy-read introductions to the economists Milton Friedman, F. A. Hayek and Adam Smith, and a short explanation of how markets work, called (modestly) The Best Book on the Market, which he wrote to be "so simple that even politicians can understand it."

Charles Murray - Coming Apart - Economic Policy Forum & Author Series - 02-09-12

2012-02-16T15:20:32.000Z

	Charles Murray - Coming Apart - Economic Policy Forum & Author Series - 02-09-12 In his new book, COMING APART: The State of White America, 1960-2010, Charles Murray argues that American classes have reached a level of separation unlike anything we have ever known before. Murray first takes on what he calls the new upper class: highly educated, successful, affluent, and increasingly isolated from, and ignorant about, the rest of America. Using data from 1960 and 2000 censuses, he demonstrates the emergence of spatial isolation that has no parallel in American history, with the new upper class concentrated in what he called "SuperZips" clustered around a few centers of national power. Murray cites American trends regarding marriage, religion, honesty, and industriousness for the fifty years from 1960 to 2010. Murray limits the data to non-Latino whites, showing wide gaps that have opened up in behaviors that once united Americans across classes. A startling long-lens view, COMING APART reveals the ways in which America is coming apart at the seams that once stitched us together. Murray evokes the civic culture that was so widely shared among Americans that it amounted to a civil religion. "To be American was to be different from other nationalities, in ways that Americans treasured. That culture is unraveling: Murray forces us to look unblinkingly at the nature of the problem because, as he argues, the price of turning a blind eye is the end to what has made America America. Charles Murray is a political scientist, author, and libertarian. Murray was named by the National Journal as one of the 50 "People Who Make a Difference" in national policy-making. When U.S. News and World Report published its cover story on "The New American Establishment," Murray was chosen as one of thirty-two men and women who define the contemporary intellectual debate on social policy. A Newsweek cover article picked Murray as one of a hundred Americans who lead their fields. In addition to his books and articles in technical journals, Murray has published extensively in The New Republic, Commentary, The Public Interest, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and the Washington Post. He has been a frequent witness before congressional and senate committees and a consultant to senior government officials of the United States, the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, and the OECD. Murray first came to national attention in 1984 with the publication of Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950--1980 (Basic Books, 1984), which has been credited as the intellectual foundation for the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. His 1994 New York Times bestseller, The Bell Curve (Free Press, 1994), coauthored with the late Richard J. Herrnstein, sparked heated controversy for its analysis of the role of IQ in shaping America's class structure. Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality (Crown Forum, 2008), provides a framework for rethinking what parents should demand from an educational system.

Last week's job numbers were better than predicted, but employment still remains at 9.1 percent. And with uncertainties about future tax and health care costs could be inhibiting permanent job growth, shifting more of the labor force to temporary and part-time employment. With new regulations taking effect under the Affordable Care Act, firms may be even more reluctant to hire permanent and full-time workers. Is temporary and part-time work becoming the new permanent?
