Unlike every other nation in the history of the world, America was not founded simply upon the bases of communal physical considerations such as geography, tribe, caste, race, or religion. Rather, it was founded upon the shared, evolving, and occasionally conflicting ideals of liberty and equality of opportunity and with the hope that the fulfillment of these ideals would enable its citizens to realize significant individual and collective achievements.

In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, capping a meteoric trajectory from a rural South Carolina childhood to professorships at Stanford and Princeton, to public service in Washington's halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate, however - the burst of the housing bubble in 2007 set off a domino effect that would bring the global financial system to the brink of meltdown.

Going against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses and treats patients.

One of the most enduring ideas in economics is that unemployment is both unavoidable and necessary for the smooth functioning of the economy. This assumption has provided cover for the devastating social and economic costs of job insecurity. It is also false. In this book, leading expert Pavlina R. Tcherneva challenges us to imagine a world where the phantom of unemployment is banished and anyone who seeks decent, living-wage work can find it - guaranteed.

This book shows that the quantitative mathematical models policy makers and government administrators use to form environmental policies are seriously flawed. Based on unrealistic and sometimes false assumptions, these models often yield answers that support unwise policies. Writing for the general, nonmathematician reader, the authors begin with a riveting account of the extinction of the North Atlantic cod on the Grand Banks of Canada.

Lurking in our homes, hiding in our offices, and polluting the air we breathe is something sinister. Something we’ve turned a blind eye to for far too long. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and world-renowned researcher, tells the story of how our everyday surroundings are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer. Through a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease, he reveals what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring the change we deserve.

Meet the economic architects behind the world's most exciting political movement, and gain insight into their platform. Policymakers, informed voters, and those who need to know what the future holds for their country, must listen to this audiobook. The New School of Economics discusses a future in which incomes can be raised dramatically through elegant policy solutions, and was published before other attempts at such a comprehensive platform were made (such as Andrew Yang's platform and publication).

Each week, people read about new and exciting cancer drugs. Some of these drugs are truly transformative, offering major improvements in how long patients live or how they feel. But what is often missing from the popular narrative is that, far too often, these new drugs have marginal or minimal benefits. Some are even harmful.

Well-heeled American corporations have long had a financial stake in undermining scientific consensus and manufacturing uncertainty. In The Triumph of Doubt, former Obama and Clinton official David Michaels details how corrupt science becomes public policy - and where it's happening today.

Burnout among medical professionals has reached epidemic proportions. Much of this distress can be attributed to the pile-on of duties and responsibilities healthcare workers face, including an increasing workload, complex quality measures, and expanding policy stipulations - on top of providing quality patient care. At the same time, these growing tasks are coupled with staff shortages and waning organizational support. It's hardly a surprise that the rates of depression and suicide continue to increase among exhausted medical professionals.

Come si concluderà questo anno scolastico? Come si svolgeranno gli esami. E l'anno prossimo. Corrado Zunino intervista il sottosegretario all'Istruzione Giuseppe De Cristofaro.

In Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, physician scientists Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli uncover the eye-opening data that compassion could be a wonder drug for the 21st century. Now, for the first time ever, a rigorous review of the science - coupled with captivating stories from the front lines of medicine - demonstrates that human connection in health care matters in astonishing ways. Never before has all the evidence been synthesized together in one place.

Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded. In this provocative book, Dr. Thomas Cowan argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life.

Les jeunes français, qui disent vivre leur quotidien "sous pression", sont les plus pessimistes de tous les Européens (Galland, 1997). L'école occupe la majeure partie du temps des lycéens, elle est au centre de leurs préoccupations et sa place est déterminante dans la réussite de leur vie. Il va de soi qu'il faut travailler à l'école pour réussir dans la vie ; il va de soi qu'on ne peut pas réussir sans avoir été "sanctifié" par l'école. Pourquoi l'école est-elle si importante et centrale dans la vie d'un lycéen en France ?

1974 : 200 000 demandeurs d'emploi. 2016 : 3 550 000 chômeurs. Qui peut croire que la bataille contre le chômage a vraiment été engagée ? Un éminent président de la République est même parvenu à faire croire qu'en France, "tout a été essayé". Tout ? Tout ! Enfin, tout sauf ce qui aurait pu fonctionner... La recette pour baisser le chômage est pourtant aussi connue - par les multiples exemples internationaux et les préconisations des économistes compétents - que celle des éclairs au chocolat.

Il ne suffit pas de parer aux dangers futurs. L'exigence du développement durable suppose aussi qu'on revienne sur le chemin accidenté que l'humanité vient de parcourir.

L'école est le dernier rempart de la République ; l'école a abdiqué de tout rôle civique. Entre ces deux figures, le débat public oscille depuis de longues années, modernes contre classiques, "pédagogues" contre "républicains".
