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.

"Throughout her presidential campaign, Elizabeth''s biggest speeches highlighted the legacies of persistent women in American history who imagined a more just future and built political and economic power for working people. Now, you can own a piece of that history with our beautiful collection of those speeches, "Only Righteous Fights", which includes the full text of each speech alongside photos from the campaign trail, archival photos, and more."--Publisher''s website, accessed February 28, 2023)

«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».

#1 New York Times bestseller The fiery U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and bestselling author offers a passionate, inspiring book about why our middle class is under siege and how we can win the fight to save it Senator Elizabeth Warren has long been an outspoken champion of America’s middle class, and by the time the people of Massachusetts elected her in 2012, she had become one of the country’s leading progressive voices. Now, at a perilous moment for our nation, she has written a book that is at once an illuminating account of how we built the strongest middle class in history, a scathing indictment of those who have spent the past thirty-five years undermining working families, and a rousing call to action. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, and she’s never forgotten how difficult it was for her mother and father to hold on at the ragged edge of the middle class. An educational system that offered opportunities for all made it possible for her to achieve her dream of going to college, becoming a teacher, and, later, attending law school. But now, for many, these kinds of opportunities are gone, and a government that once looked out for working families is instead captive to the rich and powerful. Seventy-five years ago, President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal ushered in an age of widespread prosperity; in the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan reversed course and sold the country on the disastrous fiction called trickle-down economics. Now, with the election of Donald Trump--a con artist who promised to drain the swamp of special interests and then surrounded himself with billionaires and lobbyists--the middle class is being pushed ever closer to collapse. Written in the candid, high-spirited voice that is Warren’s trademark, This Fight Is Our Fight tells eye-opening stories about her battles in the Senate and vividly describes the experiences of hard-working Americans who have too often been given the short end of the stick. Elizabeth Warren has had enough of phony promises and a government that no longer serves its people--she won’t sit down, she won’t be silenced, and she will fight back.

‘Nevertheless, she persisted’ has become a rallying cry for millions of those fed up with phony promises and governments that no longer serve their people. In this inspiring #1 New York Times bestseller and inspiring book, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren argues for a fair future for ordinary working people. Join the fight!

This book reports the impact a four-year longitudinal study (Representations, Oral Language and Engagement in Mathematics (RoleM)) had on teachers and students from 16 schools in disadvantaged contexts. It offers theories with regard to the interplay between teaching and learning mathematics as teachers and students in these contexts implement a mathematics program. The data are longitudinal, drawn from 154 teachers and their students (up to 1738 students) from the first four years of school (Foundation to Year 3). To ascertain the effectiveness of the RoleM Professional Learning model, teachers were interviewed three times a year and pre and post-tests were administered to students at the beginning and end of each year. Students’ results indicated that all students’ understanding of mathematics improved significantly, with the ESL students showing the greatest gains. Their results matched the norm-referenced expectations for all Australian students of this age. This book shares the journey of these teachers, Indigenous teacher aides and students. It outlines the dimensions of the research findings that supported teachers to become effective teachers of mathematics and assisted students in becoming successful learners of mathematics. The book also draws on the expertise of researchers from both Canada and New Zealand. They share the similarities and the differences between RoleM findings and their own contexts, in order to draw general conclusions for the effective teaching and learning of mathematics at the margins of society.

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.

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.

Summary of God, Caesar and the Freedom of Religion by Elizabeth Warren November 17, 2004This book is a distillation of the current practices of 191 national governments concerning their respect for the Human Right of freedom of religion. Its focus on the relationships between governments and religions reveals the relative political power of both. Religions are vital to societies. They give people a way to express their responses to the divine impulse. They form the basis for social order and morality. Since 1948 when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved by the United Nations, a majority of the nations of the world have approved it. The question presented by this book is, how well do the nations respect the right in practice? While a majority of the governments do respect the freedom of religion, some restrict the right of people to practice their religion through laws and administrative practices. Moreover, there are times when inter-religious rivalries get in the way of free expression of religion and lead to conflicts. Sometimes a benign religion comes to be used by militants who badly distort its message. Some religions become seekers after power, either with respect to each other or with respect to their governments. In at least one case, religion and government are one. The book is different from others that discuss freedom of religion in that it classifies 191 countries according to their governments'' respect for freedom of religion in practice, using U. S. State Department reports and other sources. The focus of the book is political, not theological.
