Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many American liberals believe that misinformation is just a right-wing problem. As a result, they ignore a similar crisis of misinformation occurring on the leftparticularly within higher educationand reflexively dismiss any such claim as just another right-wing talking point. Yet, as Virtuous Nonsense makes clear, the epistemic problems in blue America are not only real but also worsening and can no longer be ignored. With contributions from a wide range of liberal-minded scholars and thinkers, including Musa al-Gharbi, Jonathan Haidt, Carol Tavris, and Matthew Yglesias, among many others, the volume demonstrates how large segments of the academynamely, in the social sciences, the humanities, and educationhave become captive to progressive ideology.Where universities once sought to produce and disseminate reliable knowledge, far too many academics today prioritize activism and political projects. This results in poorly supported academic theories and distorted claims that eventually proliferate beyond the universitythrough the graduation of students who've received a flawed education, through a mainstream media that all too often credulously parrots even the most biased claims as "the truth," and ultimately through public institutions increasingly shaped by politicized expertise.On subjects ranging from race and gender to single parenthood and free markets, Virtuous Nonsense exposes the most damaging of these academic distortions, which not only undermine public trust and sound policymaking but also artificially narrow the boundaries of acceptable debate. In so doing, it presents a challenge to the left: face the crisis, or remain complicit in the degradation of our intellectual and civic life. Until more liberals acknowledge the problem of malfunctioning disciplines and uncritical media environments, America cannot hope to repair its engines of knowledgeor recover from an epistemic crisis that sickens our culture, society, and politics.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 256 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Work hard to get ahead; the poor are mostly minorities in inner cities living lazily off of welfare fraud; the government spends more on welfare than anywhere else in the world; America is a land of equal opportunity with easy social mobility for all. These are but a handful of the many myths about poverty in America, some of which have persisted for decades, with significant and harmful consequences on our social policy, our social compacts, and ourselves. Poorly Understood seeks to challenge and debunk these myths, along the way asking tough questions about how and why they have persisted and what it would take to replace them with true stories.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Americans conceptualize freedom, they often disproportionately focus on negative freedom, or freedom from government constraint-being told what they cannot say, which religion they cannot practice, where they cannot move, etc. By this measure, Americans are remarkably free. However, such a conceptualization of freedom is incomplete without including notions of positive freedom--possession of agency, to be able to think and act autonomously in pursuit of one's desired life. Positive freedom unlocks agency through more than the absence of something, but the presence of something else--the conditions which enable people's development of their abilities and access to crucial resources and opportunities. If we measure the freedom of Americans by positive freedom measures, we are falling behind our perceived status. In On Inequality and Freedom, a diverse group of authors discuss how a variety of contemporary American inequalities-from racial, economic, and gender, to health, environmental, and political inequalities-actually limit American freedom, regardless of how much negative freedom we possess. This book provides readers with a deeper understanding of what true freedom is and concrete steps toward restoring it.…
