Summers lawrence (148 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Entire neighborhoods in cities across the United States have become open-air asylums, drug markets, and impoverished wastelands--where death, misery, crime, addiction, encampments, fires, disease, and even human waste aren't just tolerated but normalized. How is this possible when billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into homelessness initiatives such as "Housing First"? The truth is that the money poured into this issue from taxpayers, non-profits, and private charities alike has mostly made homelessness worse overall. And governments' failures haven't just wasted taxpayer dollars--it has cost lives and undermined human dignity. This isn't just incompetence. It's immoral and unjust. And it must end. In Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, Mary L. G. Theroux, Lawrence J. McQuillan, Adam B. Summers, and other scholars present a better approach rooted in proven solutions. This groundbreaking new book, based on years of research, is exactly what's needed to address the crisis. With forewords from acclaimed addiction medicine specialist and TV host Dr. Drew Pinsky, and licensed master social worker Scott Ackerson, the book gathers experts on every aspect of homelessness to present a stirring condemnation of the status quo--and an inspiring vision for the future. Drawing on real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and alternative programs with metric-driven successes, they make the case for individualized, holistic interventions that actually work. Discover: How "Housing First" initiatives have become governments' default response to homelessness--and why they fail Why permanent supportive housing (PSH) isn't just ineffective but dangerous How political interests fuel the homelessness-industrial complex resulting in ever-increasing spending while falling further behind The inspiring success of real alternatives such as Haven for Hope in Texas and Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles Policy changes that would truly ease the crisis for the unhoused and housed alike--without breaking the bank The difference between responsible and irresponsible forms of harm reduction And much, much more. At the heart of this crisis are real people--those experiencing homelessness and the residents who see their neighborhoods crumble. Both have paid a high price for failed policies. Both deserve better. The good news? We can do better. Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions shows us how.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Leading economists consider the shape of future economic policy: will it resume the pre-crisis consensus, or contend with the post-crisis new normal? What will economic policy look like once the global financial crisis is finally over? Will it resume the pre-crisis consensus, or will it be forced to contend with a post-crisis new normal? Have we made progress in addressing these issues, or does confusion remain? In April of 2015, the International Monetary Fund gathered leading economists, both academics and policymakers, to address the shape of future macroeconomic policy. This book is the result, with prominent figures--including Ben Bernanke, John Taylor, and Paul Volcker--offering essays that address topics that range from the measurement of systemic risk to foreign exchange intervention.The chapters address whether we have entered a new normal of low growth, negative real rates, and deflationary pressures, with contributors taking opposing views; whether new financial regulation has stemmed systemic risk; the effectiveness of macro prudential tools; monetary policy, the choice of inflation targets, and the responsibilities of central banks; fiscal policy, stimulus, and debt stabilization; the volatility of capital flows; and the international monetary and financial system, including the role of international policy coordination.In light of these discussions, is there progress or confusion regarding the future of macroeconomic policy? In the final chapter, volume editor Olivier Blanchard answers: both. Many lessons have been learned; but, as the chapters of the book reveal, there is no clear agreement on several key issues.ContributorsViral V. Acharya, Anat R.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Leading economists discuss post-financial crisis policy dilemmas, including the dangers of complacency in a period of relative stability. The Great Depression led to the Keynesian revolution and dramatic shifts in macroeconomic theory and macroeconomic policy. Similarly, the stagflation of the 1970s led to the adoption of the natural rate hypothesis and to a major reassessment of the role of macroeconomic policy. Should the financial crisis and the Great Recession lead to yet another major reassessment, to another intellectual revolution? Will it? If so, what form should it, or will it, take?These are the questions taken up in this book, in a series of contributions by policymakers and academics. The contributors discuss the complex role of the financial sector, the relative roles of monetary and fiscal policy, the limits of monetary policy to address financial stability, the need for fiscal policy to play a more active role in stabilization, and the relative roles of financial regulation and macroprudential tools.The general message is a warning against going back to precrisis ways-to narrow inflation targeting, little use of fiscal policy for stabilization, and insufficient financial regulation.
