Description

LANE KENWORTHY, PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA President Obama's health reform has stirred intense opposition from Republicans and conservatives that is an understandable response to a new stage of government activism. The fight over health care is about more than health policy; it is ground zero of the ongoing war between liberals and conservatives over the size and scope of the U.S. government. While Obamacare will continue to incite opposition, it is an historic step toward a peculiarly American version of social democracy. Join us for an engaging program featuring Sociology and Political Science professor at the University of Arizona, Lane Kenworthy. Lane Kenworthy is a professor of Sociology and Political Science at the University of Arizona. He studies the causes and consequences of living standards, poverty, inequality, mobility, employment, economic growth, social policy, taxes, public opinion, and politics in the United States and other affluent countries. He is the author of Progress for the Poor (2011), Jobs with Equality(2008), Egalitarian Capitalism (2004), and In Search of National Economic Success (1995). His current book projects are Should We Worry About Inequality? (with Christopher Jencks) andSocial Democratic America.
