Who Will Care for Grandma?
It is amazing to realize that much of the Western medical community is in a love/hate relationship with the economics of medicine. Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) is one of the primary methods of guiding many medical decision-makers in the allocation of limited medical resources. Herein lies the problem of medicine and economics. It seems that deciding who will receive limited medical resources is a task filled with moral and ethical difficulties, even for those depending on the information obtained from QALY calculations. These moral and ethical difficulties are beyond the scope of sound bites that tout the benefits of "universal health care," "affordable insurance," or the safety of th...
Law, Darwinism, and Public Education
In 1987, in Edwards v.

At that time, the Court ruled that teaching creationism violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Beckwith examines the Intelligent Design theory and the Edwards case to find out whether teaching ID would suffer the same fate if brought before the court.

To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of...
Nemici dello Stato
Un’organizzazione governativa corrotta e segreta che ha il presidente nel mirino. Un agente del Servizio Segreto che infrangerà ogni regola. Un presidente che si innamora dell’unica persona di cui non dovrebbe: un uomo. Jack Spiers, neoeletto presidente degli Stati Uniti, sin dall’inizio del suo mandato si ritrova a dover lavorare incessantemente per evitare che il mondo vada in pezzi. Tra gli attacchi terroristici che stanno mettendo l’Europa in ginocchio, il continuo esibizionismo aggressivo della Russia e il pantano in Medio Oriente, Jack cerca disperatamente di mantenere le promesse fatte in campagna elettorale: lavorare per un mondo migliore e più sicuro. Per l’agente specia...
