Hardback. Zustand: Good. In the vein of Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism comes a scathing and reasoned critique of the politics of liberal compassion--and why liberals' lack of interest in the results of their policies renders them unfit to govern. For decades, conservatives have chafed at being called "heartless" and "uncaring" by liberals, without ever challenging this charge. Instead, they've spent their time trying to prove that they really do care. Now, political scientist William Voegeli turns the tables on this argument, making the case that "compassion" is neither the essence of personal virtue, nor the ultimate purpose of government. Liberals have built a remarkable edifice of government programs that are justified by appeals to compassion. Yet as Voegeli shows, they are indifferent whether these programs fail or succeed. Instead, when the problems these programs are created to solve fail to disappear, they propose to fix underperforming programs with more money, or more programs. Meanwhile, conservatives who challenge their effectiveness on practical grounds are met with charges of being "heartless right wingers." Voegeli explores various programs that have become battlefields between Conservatives fighting for more efficiency, and Liberals fighting for the status quo. Along the way, he explains the philosophical underpinnings of the Liberal project that created and reinforce this misapplied ideal of compassion, and why, without a major change, Liberals must be considered unfit to govern.…

hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Deutschen und Europäern gelten die Vereinigten Staaten immer noch als 'Stammland des Kapitalismus', in dem eine vermeintlich kaum gezügelte freie Marktwirtschaft herrscht.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - »Never Enough. America's Limitless Welfare State«: »Der amerikanische Wohlfahrtsstaat« is a translation of William Voegeli's analysis of America's endlessly growing welfare state: »Never Enough« explores the roots and consequences of liberals' aphasia about the welfare state's ultimate size and looks at the roles liberals and conservatives play. Using data from OECD, OMD and BLS, Voegeli shows how the welfare state in the US grew and compares to European welfare states.; Das Buch ist eine systematische Untersuchung des amerikanischen Wohlfahrtsstaats von seinen Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart und eine Darlegung der Ursachen und Folgen, die mit dem Wachstum des Wohlfahrtsstaats in den USA einhergehen. Der Autor zeigt, wie groß der amerikanische Wohlfahrtsstaat ist und wie er im Vergleich zu Wohlfahrtsstaaten anderer moderner Industriegesellschaften abschneidet. Zu diesem Zweck greift er auf Daten von OECD, OMD (Office of Management and Budget) und BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) zurück. Anhand der generierten Tabellen zeigt er, dass der amerikanische Wohlfahrtsstaat seit dem New Deal kontinuierlich wächst, und dies ungeachtet der Tatsache, dass Demokraten und Republikaner sich mehrfach an der Spitze abgelöst haben. Anschließend erörtert er die mit dem Wachstum verbundenen Probleme und die Rolle, welche Demokraten und Konservative in dieser Entwicklung spielen.…
