NEW INSIGHTS INTO POVERTY & AFFLUENCE GAP

New Insights Into the Poverty and Affluence Gap
Kay Hymowitz, Institute for Family Studies

Racial and ethnic inequality remains one of the country’s most vexing social problems. It has always been true that whites are much less likely to be poor and more likely to be rich than blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians (Asians are a different story)—and it remains true today. For blacks, the gap has been particularly discouraging since it has been resistant to so many efforts to right it: civil rights laws, education reform, affirmative action, an arsenal of War on Poverty-style programs, and two terms of a relatively well-regarded black president. Read more here....

ALIENATED AMERIKA

Why do so many people believe the American dream is no longer within reach? Growing inequality, stubborn pockets of immobility, rising rates of deadly addiction, the increasing and troubling fact that where you start determines where you end up, and heightening political strife — these are the disturbing realities threatening ordinary American lives today. 

The standard account points to economic problems among the working class, but the root was a cultural collapse. While the educated and wealthy elites still enjoy strong communities, most blue-collar Americans lack strong institutions that bind them to their neighbors. And outside of the elites, the central American institution has been religion. That is, it is not the factory closings that have torn us apart; it is the church closings. The dissolution of our most cherished institutions — nuclear families, places of worship, and civic organizations — has not only divided us, but eroded our sense of worth, belief in opportunity, and connection to one another. 

In Alienated America, Timothy P. Carney visits all corners of America, from the dim country bars of Southwestern Pennsylvania to the bustling Mormon wards of Salt Lake City, and examines the most important data and research to demonstrate how social connection is the great divide in America. He shows that Trump’s surprising victory was the most visible symptom of this deep-seated problem. In addition to his detailed exploration of how a range of societal changes have, in tandem, damaged us, Carney provides a framework that will lead us back out of a lonely, modern wilderness.

Evidence suggests that fewer Americans are taking risks for love. In an increasingly romance-less culture, we need more life entrepreneurs who are willing to put their hearts on the line.
When Concerns for Peripheries Eclipse Interest in the Sacred Other  James Kalb
Modern ways of thinking lead people to moral views that are different from traditional ones, so it’s not surprising they consider themselves morally superior to people in the past. Whether current moral understandings are actually better is nonetheless dubious and deserves investigation. Modern thought wants to take fewer things into consideration but in a more […]
