Das vorliegende Open-Access-Buch analysiert finanzielle Transfers zwischen Erwachsenen und ihren Eltern, die zur Reproduktion von Ungleichheiten auf der Makroebene beitragen. Soziale Ungleichheiten in der Kindergeneration lassen sich zu einem grossen Teil auf soziale Ungleichheiten in der Elterngeneration zurückführen. Genauer geht die Autorin den Fragen nach, wer mehr bzw. weniger Geld-, Sachgeschenke oder Zahlungen leistet und erhält, welche Faktoren Unterschiede im Transferverhalten erklären und wie sich finanzielle Transfers zwischen Generationen auf Ungleichheitsstrukturen in der Kindergeneration auswirken.

More than six years after the September 11 attacks, the close friendship forged between George W. Bush and John Howard remains. But in their nations more broadly, the common purpose has withered, drained by the sense that both men have failed the moral and intellectual challenges of that day. In this powerful and provocative book, Peter Beinart offers a new liberal vision, based on principles liberals too often forget: that America's greatness cannot simply be asserted, it must be proved. That American leadership is not American empire. And that liberalism cannot merely define itself against the right, but must fervently oppose the totalitarianism that stalks the Islamic world today.

Beinart argues that America can again embrace the creed that brought it greatness in the past, but only if liberals remember that democracy begins at home. Above all, it is a call for liberals to revive the spirit that once swept America, and inspired the world.
