"Sozialdemokratische Wirtschaftspolitik in Europa befindet sich in einer Phase spektakulärer Erneuerung - wenn auch in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß in verschiedenen Ländern. Hierzu hat die in Großbritannien wahlpolitisch erfolgreiche und kontrovers diskutierte Idee eines Modernen Dritten Weges wesentliche Impulse gegeben. Die in dieser Philosophie enthaltenen Grundgedanken entwickelten sich zu einem zentralen Vergleichsmaßstab in der aktuellen Diskussion. Angestrebt wird eine anpassungsflexible, aber dennoch sozialverpflichtete Marktwirtschaft. Diese soll die Beschäftigungs-, Anreiz- und Wachstumsschwäche des alten sozialdemokratischen staatszentrierten Modells im derzeitigen informations- und technologiegetriebenen Strukturwandel zur New Economy und bei einer alternden Bevölkerung überwinden, ohne jedoch dem Verlangen nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit in westeuropäischen Gesellschaften zuwiderzulaufen." (Autorenreferat)

Homelessness is a visible problem in big cities, and a largely invisible one in small towns and rural areas. This issue involves serious consequences for those living on the streets, in tent cities, or in their cars. Homeless people deal with unsanitary conditions, crimes inflicted against them, and an array of mental, emotional, and physical health problems. Homelessness affects young and old, single people and entire families, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals, among others. This incisive collection of articles examines the myriad issues faced by communities, activists, governments, and private charities when addressing this vulnerable population. Media literacy questions and terms are included to help readers further analyze news coverage and reporting styles.

In October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent journalist who was critical of the Saudi Arabian government, was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. His was an extreme case of censorship: the act of suppressing people, platforms, and ideas that are contrary to the status quo. Why do governments, publications, and other entities censor information? Is motivation driven only by authoritarian power, or are there sometimes benefits to censorship, as in that of the U.S. press during times of war? In this collection, readers encounter cases of suppression in the arts, scientific studies, and the evolution of censorship in the internet age, particularly in nations such as China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Media literacy questions and terms aid readers in analyzing how this complex topic is reported.
