L'existence d'un monstre étrange et à coup sûr dévastateur était, depuis quelque temps, agitée dans le Tucson ville, en Arizona. Elle avait été rapportée par un officier de police qui, alors qu'il patrouillait une fameuse nuit d'halloween, l'aurait aperçu. Le flic avait vite averti du danger mais personne ne l'avait cru, avant que le monstre en véritable lion des cavernes ne leur apparut et se mit à tout détruire. La ville devait ainsi faire face et mettre la lumière sur l'origine du monstre et le mobile de ses crimes. Pourtant, à chaque fois que le rideau semblait se lever sur ce dernier, apparaissait les williams, une famille si ordinaire mais bientôt si troublante.

Why Social Security is not only sustainable but should be substantially expandedSocial Security is bankrupting us. It's outdated. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's stealing from young people. These are some of the biggest myths and lies about one of the most successful programs in our nation's history. Three-quarters of Americans depend heavily on Social Security in their elderly years and nearly half would be living in poverty without it. But as important and popular as it is, Social Security has become a political football. A well-financed campaignsupported by conservatives, special interest groups, and even leading Democratshas lobbied for cuts and significant ';entitlement reform,' falsely proclaiming that Social Security is going broke. Policy expert Steven Hill argues that Social Security should not only be defended, it should be substantially expanded. Here he proposes how we can double the monthly benefit and how to pay for it by closing many of the tax loopholes and deductions that disproportionately favor the wealthy few.

This updated edition outlines problems with American elections and proposes specific reforms to reinvigorate them. Maintaining that conservative efforts to malign government have diminished public confidence in our political institutions, Hill proposes a campaign to promote effective government efforts on the public's behalf.

A quiet revolution has been occurring in post-World War II Europe. A world power has emerged across the Atlantic that is recrafting the rules for how a modern society should provide economic security, environmental sustainability, and global stability. In Europe's Promise, Steven Hill explains Europe's bold new vision. For a decade Hill traveled widely to understand this uniquely European way of life. He shatters myths and shows how Europe's leadership manifests in five major areas: economic strength, with Europe now the world's wealthiest trading bloc, nearly as large as the U.S. and China combined; the best health care and other workfare supports for families and individuals; widespread use of renewable energy technologies and conservation; the world's most advanced democracies; and regional networks of trade, foreign aid, and investment that link one-third of the world to the European Union. Europe's Promise masterfully conveys how Europe has taken the lead in this make-or-break century challenged by a worldwide economic crisis and global warming.
