Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Why has it become so difficult for Americans to trust their government-and can that trust be restored?Americans disagree about politics, but many share the same concerns: the rising cost of living, economic insecurity, health care, retirement, poverty, taxation, government spending, and whether public programs actually help the people they are intended to serve.RESTORE TRUST: Economic Solutions to Current Social and Political Issues in the U.S. looks beyond partisan arguments to ask a more practical question:What policies could actually work better?Drawing on his background in economics and political science, Werner Neff examines some of the country's most persistent economic and social challenges-including welfare programs, minimum wages, inflation, Social Security, health care, subsidies, taxation, and the unintended consequences that can arise even from well-intentioned policies.The book challenges readers to look beyond political slogans. Should assistance programs simply provide more money, or should they be redesigned to help people become economically independent? How can Social Security remain sustainable for future generations? Can a tax system be both fair and economically responsible? How should America balance individual responsibility with society's obligation to support people who genuinely need help?Neff approaches these questions from a non-partisan perspective, focusing on economic consequences rather than party ideology. His goal is not to tell readers which political side to choose, but to encourage serious discussion about policies that are fair, financially sustainable, and capable of improving people's lives.At its heart, RESTORE TRUST makes a straightforward argument: Public trust cannot be demanded. It must be earned through institutions and policies that work. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 323. …
