Konstitution: regeringen og staten

I denne tankevækkende bog dissekerer Nicolaj Ejler styringen af de offentlige kerneopgaver: hvad den er, hvor den kommer fra, og hvorfor vi har den. Han argumenterer for, at den offentlige sektor er overstyret. Vi kan ikke styre kerneopgaven. Men vi kan kun afvikle den massive overstyring, hvis fagprofessionerne tager et større ansvar for at definere kvalitet og skaber mere systematisk refleksiv praksis.Bogen anviser vejen til en ny styringsmodel med politikere, der styrer sig, og fagprofessionelle, der praktiserer vidensfunderede professionelle læringsfællesskaber.IndholdForordKapitel 1.

Fra Borgens midte, fra rød til blå og hele vejen til Bruxelles er næsten alle enige om Danmarks fremtid. Også selv om de ved, det ender galt.Over halvdelen af befolkningen lever i dag af velfærdsstaten. Enten er de medarbejdere, eller også modtager de en offentlig ydelse. Og i velfærdsstaten er det aldrig godt nok. For efter hver kur kommer en ny lidelse i de utilpasses rige. Men sandheden er – argumenterer Henrik Dahl – at velfærdsideologien producerer ulighed og ufrihed til det danske folk. Vi er kommet til at leve i en lukningstruet klientstat med tre klasser: en underklasse af mennesker på passiv forsørgelse, stadigt fattigere i ånden og koblet af fællesskabet; en svindende klasse af privatansatte, der holder forretningen Danmark i gang; og en voksende og vellønnet klasse af vogtere over velfærdsstaten, hvis fremmeste mission er at fastholde os i overbevisningen om, at livet ikke kan lade sig gøre uden mere … velfærd.HENRIK DAHL har skrevet en kort, karsk og kritisk debatbog om det, som (næsten) ingen danske politikere tør diskutere. Allermindst dem, der drømmer om en plads ved voksenbordet.

"The book is an introduction to Japan and its social and national structures. It does this by offering brief summaries of Japan's history, its current Constitution, its primary national symbols, its common cultural experiences (especially national holidays), its political and civil processes (including elections and the process of passing laws), and its national economy. The primary purpose of the book is to provide cultural literacy and understanding of Japanese systems to foreigners who have decided to live in Japan, and also to tourists and others with a general interest in Japan"--

Deutschland trudelt ...Die Werte, an denen sich Staat und Gesellschaft orientieren können, sind ins Rutschen geraten. Die Probleme in zahlreichen Politikfelden nehmen immer weiter zu.Der Klimawandel, die Folgen der ungesteuerten Migration, der wirtschaftliche Abschwung, die Inflation, die ungedeckten Schecks im Sozialsystem, die erheblichen Lücken in der Infrastruktur, der Mangel an umweltverträglicher Energie, die ständig steigende Steuer- und Abgabenlast, die immer weiter ausufernde Bürokratie und das Erstarken radikalter Kräfte sind nur einige dieser Probleme, bei deren Lösung sich Staat und Gesellschaft schwertun.Herbert Lattmann nennt die größten Steine, über die wir stolpern.

1776: Gifts from the American Revolution is an illuminating yet condensed history of The United States of America starting with the Puritan's arrival in 1620 at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. As well as covering our Revolution and the creation of the Constitution the book also devotes separate chapters to Blacks and slavery, and to Native Americans and their Trail of Tears across the continent. As well, Hispanics, who also have not had it easy, were here in the Southwest before 1620 and are covered in another chapter. History is not history if it cherry picks and ignores the bad and Uncle Sam has had his share of it.Later chapters build on the achievements of the Revolution by covering diverse but related topics such as; Politics today; Faith; Religions; World Wars, Debt, the infamous 'summer of love, and the COVID-19 Pandemic. Chapter 21 on Faith is the author's attempt to clarify and strengthen his faith by developing an explanation of how Evolution and Creation are the same. Reading and parsing the Bible, the world's most important book, can become difficult and controversial as this approach reveals.Section 5 is devoted to Energy and Climate in 6 chapters. The focus in this section is about the expensive and unnecessary policy of forcing renewals by government actions to eliminate fossil fuels. The consequences to our nation from the abject failure to consider what it will take to make that transition are bared for all to read. The book concludes with some gnarly bits called Gems and Nuggets in Chapter 38. These are simply earthy statements of obvious truths intended to galvanize thought. Often complicated subjects grow into swamp like morasses. Problems become more soluble when made simple.Chapter 39 is a one page admonition aimed at young people that, if followed, provides some pithy but important keys to success.

"Lawyers don't often admit this in mixed company, but Madiba Dennie wants to let you in on a secret: There is no one true way to interpret the Constitution. Americans saw just how subjective it can be when the Supreme Court denied basic bodily autonomy to millions of people in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, suggesting that our rights and liberties are frozen in a cherry-picked version of history. This is a line of constitutional interpretation called originalism--a framework that says we must be constrained by the meaning of the Constitution's text when it was written. It has a reputation as a serious intellectual theory, but as Dennie argues in The Originalism Trap, originalism is more like dream logic: It seems reasonable at first, but when you wake up and see it clearly, it's revealed as nonsense. Originalism deliberately over-emphasizes a particular version of history that treats civil rights gains as categorically suspect. According to Dennie, it's time to let it go. The Originalism Trap discards originalism in favor of a new approach that serves everyone: inclusive constitutionalism. Dennie disentangles the Constitution's ideals from originalist ideology and emphasizes the power of the Reconstruction Amendments. These post-Civil War amendments, which are conveniently ignored by originalists, sought to build a democracy with equal membership for marginalized persons. The Originalism Trap argues that the law must serve to make that promise of democracy real. In chapters on how originalists are diminishing our right to vote, stealing the right to control our own bodies, and manipulating the way we are counted in the census, Dennie shows readers that the Constitution belongs to them and how they can use it to fight for their rights"--
