Using theoretical economic models and complex numerical simulations, he studies the effects of benefit levels and payment durations on unemployment and welfare. As...

It is a passionate plea and manifesto for children to once again be allowed to grow up humanely and "species-appropriately", for a new appreciation of family socialization and for complete freedom of education.
