School Resources, the Achievement Gap, and the Law
This book offers a novel and up-to-date exploration of the common belief that increasing conventional school resources will increase academic achievement and help close gaps between various advantaged and disadvantaged students. Taking the scholarship around this question, such as James S. Coleman’s 1965 report on the Equality of Educational Opportunity, as a starting point, it brings in an extensive range of contemporary data sources and statistical analysis to offer an updated, robust, and considered review of the issue. Moving beyond these empirical questions, it also explores how these empirical findings have been utilized in “education adequacy” litigation, discussing the evolving law of adequacy cases, while explaining the challenges of introducing complex data and analyses within a litigation framework. Judges typically have little experience with the complexity of modern education data and the analyses required to draw sound inferences. It will thus be of interest to scholars, researchers, and faculty with expertise in education policy, the economics and sociology of education, and public policy.

Povertà, in America
Negli Stati Uniti, uno dei paesi più ricchi del mondo, vivono più poveri che in qualsiasi altra democrazia avanzata. Perché? Com’è possibile che la nazione dell’abbondanza, da sempre considerata una terra di opportunità, permetta che a un bambino su otto manchino i beni di prima necessità? Come mai migliaia di cittadini vivono e muoiono per strada, mentre le aziende pagano stipendi da fame? È il risultato di una società che sfrutta i più poveri, riducendo i loro salari e costringendoli a pagare cifre insostenibili per una casa e per accedere al credito, di un paese che ha scelto di far crescere la ricchezza invece di alleviare la povertà, progettando uno stato sociale che offre...
失靈的福利國：直擊美國貧窮問題的核心，為除貧找到解方
美國的福利規模高居全球第二，為何還會讓窮人悲鳴絕望者之歌？ 貧困之所以持續存在，難道是因為有人希望如此，並且有意為之？ 美國，這個全世界最富有的國家，貧窮的問題卻比任何一個先進民主國家都嚴重。為什麼這片富饒之地容許每八名兒童就有一名無法獲得足夠的生活必需品、容許人民生活與死於街頭，甚至授權企業支付員工更低的薪資？ 《失靈的福利國》透過歷史回顧、研究成果與第一手報導，顯示富裕的美國民眾是如何在有意識與無意識的情況下，讓窮人繼續在貧困中求生存，並且論證美國雖然號稱福利國...
Armut
Die USA sind das reichste Land der Welt – und doch gibt es hier mehr Armut als in jeder anderen fortgeschrittenen Demokratie: Würden die Betroffenen einen eigenen Staat gründen, hätte dieser eine größere Bevölkerung als Australien oder Venezuela. Warum klaffen gerade hier, wo doch alle Mittel vorhanden sein sollten, Reich und Arm, Anspruch und Realität so drastisch auseinander? Der Soziologe und Pulitzer-Preisträger Matthew Desmond zeigt eine bittere Wahrheit, die weit über die USA hinausweist und ins Innerste der kapitalistischen Gesellschaften zielt: Dass Millionen von Menschen in Armut leben, ist nicht etwa eine strukturelle Zwangsläufigkeit oder das Ergebnis je individuellen ...
