Più armi uguale più sicurezza. Un'equazione trasformata in slogan, una convinzione che ha spinto il 40 per cento degli italiani ad affermare che si sentirebbe più sicuro con una pistola in casa. Più armi uguale più femminicidi. Ecco un'altra equazione, ma questo non è uno slogan, è la semplice constatazione di una tragica realtà. Una pistola è costruita per sparare, per ferire o uccidere. O anche per uccidersi. Luca Di Bartolomei, figlio di Agostino, famoso calciatore che venticinque anni fa si suicidò con una Smith & Wesson 38 acquistata credendo di proteggere la sua famiglia.

The huge prison buildup of the past four decades has few defenders, yet reforms to reduce the numbers of those incarcerated have been remarkably modest. Meanwhile, an ever-widening carceral state has sprouted in the shadows, extending its reach far beyond the prison gate. It sunders families and communities and reworks conceptions of democracy, rights, and citizenship - posing a formidable political and social challenge. In Caught, Marie Gottschalk examines why the carceral state remains so tenacious in the United States.

People say that they trust scientists, yet evidence often takes a back seat to emotions. In fact, for issues that cause the loudest public furor - like vaccine safety - there is almost no debate in the scientific community. This audiobook examines the science behind today’s most contentious debates - including gun control, GMOs, and evolution, as well as strategies for understanding and coping with denialism.

Debtors have been mocked, scolded, and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We’ve been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: who would benefit?

 In May 1970, four days after Kent State, construction workers chased students through downtown Manhattan, beating scores of protesters bloody.

The High Cost of Good Intentions is the first comprehensive history of these federal entitlement programs. Combining economics, history, political science, and law, John F. Cogan reveals how the creation of entitlements brings forth a steady march of liberalizing forces that cause entitlement programs to expand. This process - as visible in the 18th and 19th centuries as in the present day - is repeated until benefits are extended to nearly all who could be considered eligible, and in turn establishes a new base for future expansions.
