Women are riding out the recession more easily than men, with a lower unemployment rate and a higher percentage attaining high school diplomas and Bachelor and Master degrees. Yet President Obama and Congress, responding to fierce feminist lobbying, propose to expand preferences for women in both education and hiring. Whereas original feminists portrayed women as equal to men, the 21st century feminist message is that women cannot succeed without affirmative action. Not only does this harm men...

Each year, the United States spends $65,000 per poor family to “fight poverty” – in a country in which the average family income is just under $50,000. Meanwhile, most of that money goes to middle-class and upper-middle-class families, and the current U.S. poverty rate is higher than it was before the government began spending trillions of dollars on anti-poverty programs.In this eye-opening Broadside, Kevin D. Williamson uncovers the hidden politics of the welfare...

In Philanthropy Under Fire, author Howard Husock defends the American tradition of independent philanthropy from significant political and intellectual challenges which threaten it today. Although the U.S. continues to be the most charitable nation in the world, serious efforts seek to discourage traditional, personal charitable giving by changing the tax code, and directing philanthropy toward causes chosen by government.

Sig det med blomster, lyder Interfloras motto, men forretningen har ikke patent pa ideen. Vi har givet gaver i millioner af ar for at opbygge, bevare og bryde vores forbindelser til hinanden. Men en bemalet mAelkekarton kan kun born slippe af sted med, og en barebuket til et bryllup falder nAeppe i god jord. Den rette gave krAever fingerspidsfornemmelse. Heldigvis er Anders Klostergaard Petersen, professor ved Aarhus Universitet, i sit gavmilde hjorne: En TAenkepause kan nemlig ogsa vAere en...

Der findes utallige ord for det, de fleste af os tAenker pa 24/7. Tre sma bogstaver er dog nok og taler gerne gentagelse. Sex, sex og mere sex, tak.

Vi er best! Vi er best!. Sadan lyder en norsk fodboldkommentators jubelrab, men det kunne ogsa vAere en nogtern konstatering fra Aarhus Universitets ekspert i smorelse, Mette Frisk Jensen.

Det er nAesten for godt til at vAere sandt, og det er det ogsa. For glansbilledet af den danske velfAerdsstat krakelerer, nar Carsten Jensen, skattebetalt velfAerdsekspert ved Aarhus Universitet, sAetter den under lup: Vi elsker godt nok velfAerd og abner gerne pengepungen for at fa endnu mere. Men netop kun af den velfAerd, vi selv bruger. Alle...
