New Releases by ELIZABETH WARREN

The abuse of the revolving door between government service and the private sector can corrupt government decision-making. Current federal ethics laws that are supposed to regulate the revolving door are overly complex and often insufficient to prevent conflicts of interest. Post-government employment restrictions remain an impossibly confusing “tangled mess” that hinders effective implementation and compliance – and keeps the revolving door spinning. Senator Warren commissioned this report to examine the revolving door of DoD officials currently working in the defense industry. The results confirm that the door is still spinning rapidly – highlighting the need for legislative and regulatory overhauls to address the problem.

The inspiring, influential senator and bestselling author mixes vivid personal stories with a passionate plea for political transformation. Elizabeth Warren is a beacon for everyone who believes that real change can improve the lives of all Americans. Committed, fearless, and famously persistent, she brings her best game to every battle she wages. In Persist, Warren writes about six perspectives that have influenced her life and advocacy. She’s a mother who learned from wrenching personal experience why child care is so essential. She’s a teacher who has known since grade school the value of a good and affordable education. She’s a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. She’s a fighter who discovered the hard way that nobody gives up power willingly. She’s a learner who thinks, listens, and works to fight racism in America. And she’s a woman who has proven over and over that women are just as capable as men. Candid and compelling, Persist is both a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action. Elizabeth Warren—one of our nation’s most visionary leaders—will inspire everyone to believe that if we’re willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.

«Un libro intelligente e deciso.» The New York Times - Paul Krugman «La lotta che racconta Elizabeth Warren è quella combattuta dall''America progressista nell''ultimo mezzo secolo. » Il Manifesto «Un grido d’allarme contro la nuova oligarchia.» Kirkus Review Quella di Elizabeth Warren è una delle voci progressiste più coraggiose tra quelle che si sono levate in questi anni in difesa dei diritti civili e delle famiglie, di una società più giusta e meno conflittuale. In questo libro – ai primi posti delle classifiche americane dei bestseller – Elizabeth Warren racconta la propria storia, le battaglie combattute con tenacia in anni di attivismo, e il progetto di una nuova America che deve rinascere dai problemi e dall’isolamento di quest’epoca. Criticando ferocemente le scelte delle big corporation e il potere enorme delle grandi istituzioni finanziarie, Warren si schiera al fianco dei lavoratori, degli studenti, di chi non ha accesso a cure mediche; e con grande concretezza invita chiunque abbia a cuore il futuro della democrazia a farsi carico del destino del proprio Paese, per non arrendersi e continuare a guardare con fiducia e speranza al futuro. Perché «se mai c’è stato un momento per combattere, quel momento è arrivato».

Why have so many middle-class Americans encountered so much financial trouble? In this classic analysis of hard-pressed families, the authors discover that financial stability for many middle-class Americans is all too fragile. The authors consider the changing cultural and economic factors that threaten financial security and what they imply for the future vitality of the middle class. A new preface examines the persistent and new threats that have emerged since the original publication. "[A] fascinating, alarming study. . . . [This] chilling diagnosis of middle-class affliction demonstrates that we all may be only a job loss, medical problem or credit card indulgence away from the downward spiral leading to bankruptcy."--Publishers Weekly "A well-designed and carefully executed study."--Andrew Greeley, University of Chicago "The Fragile Middle Class, a well-written work of social science that is about as gripping as the genre gets, forces us to reevaluate notions about consumerism."--American Prospect

This qualitative research study described African American female secondary educators’ challenges in their educational working relationships. The purpose was to truly understand the challenges that African American female secondary teachers experienced in the classroom, outside of the classroom, in their dealings with their students’ parents, colleagues, and their relationships with school administrators. This study focused on the challenges 10 African American female secondary teachers encountered in their educational work environment. This study also took into account how those teachers’ relationships with their students’ parents, colleagues, and administrators affected the teacher/student relationship. In an effort to increase student achievement, researchers, educators, students, parents, and administrators must all work closely to improve relationships between teachers and students within their district. Moreover, district policies must continue to encourage the development of school-family-community collaboration as an essential component vital to student academic improvement efforts. Administrators must continue to equip African American female secondary educators with a range of practices for involving students, parents, colleagues, and administrators to improve student outcomes. The best efforts are comprehensive, seeking to involve all teachers, students, parents, their colleagues, and administrators in a variety of roles. African American female secondary teachers can be empowered through training, time, and support. There are long-lasting, long-term investments in cultivating positive relationships between teachers and students that will help students reach their full potential. The cost in terms of student outcomes not achieved is incalculable.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Senator Elizabeth Warren and consultant Amelia Warren Tyagi, the classic book about America''s middle class -- and why economic security remains out of reach for many. In this exposé, Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi show that modern middle-class families are increasingly trapped by the grinding reality of flat wages and rising costs. Warren and Tyagi reveal how a ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America''s suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class, and placing unprecedented pressure on hard-working families. Revolutionary when it was first published in 2003, The Two-Income Trap remains disturbingly relevant today. Now with a new introduction by the authors, The Two Income Trap shows why the usual remedies won''t solve the problem and points toward the policy changes that would create better opportunities for both parents and children.

Como uma mãe de classe média se tornou uma das senadoras mais influentes dos Estados Unidos. Um dos nomes mais relevantes na corrida presidencial dos Estados Unidos em 2016, a senadora Elizabeth Warren é um retrato perfeito da realização do sonho americano: filha de um zelador e uma telefonista, venceu as dificuldades da família e o lugar-comum da época, de que o principal objetivo de toda mulher era conseguir um bom casamento. Tornou-se professora em Harvard, atuou como consultora do Congresso americano e assistente do presidente Barack Obama na implantação de uma agência nacional de proteção financeira do consumidor e, aos 62 anos, elegeu-se senadora pelo estado de Massachusetts. Especializada na Lei de Falências americana, Elizabeth projetou-se nos cenários acadêmico e político ao comprovar, com uma série inédita de estudos e levantamentos de dados financeiros, que, diferentemente do que se pregava, a falência não é resultado exclusivo de más escolhas dos endividados, mas também dos abusos cometidos pelas instituições financeiras. Dessa constatação em diante, sua carreira tornou-se uma batalha constante em favor da proteção das famílias em situação de endividamento – uma vez resguardadas das arbitrariedades bancárias, todas as pessoas podem ter uma chance de lutar, assim como ela teve um dia. Neste relato apaixonado, Elizabeth deixa transparecer a fibra que a fez chegar onde está. Fica clara também a abrangência de seus conceitos sobre endividamento e o sistema financeiro, que extrapolam o cenário norte-americano. Em essência, porém, o que se lê é a história de uma trajetória universal, de uma pessoa que não acredita em contabilizar e pesar vitórias e derrotas, mas, sim, em travar as batalhas nas quais realmente acredita. Elizabeth Warren é figura de destaque no cenário político americano. Considerada uma das maiores especialistas na Lei de Falências, ela é um nome forte nas discussões sobre o papel dos bancos na economia, sua influência política e o sistema financeiro em geral.

Elizabeth Warren tells the story of the two-decade journey that taught her how Washington really works and really doesn''t.

The travels recounted here are my experiences and outlook, at the end of the 20th Century. On these particular trips, I took notes and wrote them up when I got home. I have relived these years through the notes and writing of this memoir. It makes me realize how fortunate I have been to visit these countries. On these trips, I felt a continual excitement at what we were seeing and doing, and this was true in spite of physical fatigue. In Greece, I enjoyed our trek up the Acropolis and the view of Athens on that clear and sunny day was beautiful. The Parthenon was graceful even as the workmen were repairing cracks and weathered places in preparation for the upcoming summer Olympics. It was stimulating to be on a cruise with Karen Armstrong in Greece. She gave lectures about the monotheistic religions as we visited a number of sacred sites. Cape Town, South Africa, is a resort city for Europeans where history had been made when apartheid no longer governed a primarily black nation. The changes in law and the culture had been made only a few years before the Parliament of the Worlds Religions held its convocation there. Former President Nelson Mandela addressed us. Perhaps the greatest treat for me was the visit to the Soviet Union in 1989 just two months before the Berlin wall came down and the world rejoiced in the televised performance of Beethovens Ninth Symphony conducted by Leonard Bernstein. I enjoyed our visit to Spain and Morocco where we learned from Harvey Cox about the history of convivencia that describes the three monotheist religions as they found ways to live together in Spain. My last trip was with Janet Moore and her tour, Distant Horizons, to Jordan where we learned how educated and capable women live and work in that Muslim country.

Bankruptcy in America is a booming business, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans filing for bankruptcy each year. Is this dramatic growth a result of mushrooming debt or does it reflect a moral decline that permits the middle class to evade their debts? As We Forgive Our Debtors addresses these questions with hard empirical data drawn from bankruptcy court filings. The authors of this multidisciplinary study describe the law and the statistics in clear, nontechnical language, combining a thorough statistical description of the social and economic position of consumer bankrupts with human portraits of the debtors and creditors whose journeys have ended in bankruptcy court.
