Headlines and Highlights

Looking for the perfect gift? Social science can help
Arthur Brooks, The New York Times
Are you in a panic, not sure what to get that special someone this year? Fear not, because my fellow social scientists have the answer for you.

The latest social science is wrong. Religion is good for families and kids
Brad Wilcox, The Washington Post
Religion in America is not the corrosive influence that it’s often made out to be nowadays. On the contrary, for many Americans, it’s a source of inspiration that redounds not only to their benefit, but also to their families and communities.

San Bernardino and the gun-control agenda
Ramesh Ponnuru, Bloomberg View

Strengthening the American dream through families
Brad Wilcox, AEIdeas
A new report from the AEI/Brookings Working Group on Poverty and Opportunity sends a strong message to both political parties: If you want to reduce poverty and increase economic mobility, you can’t ignore the family.

Charles Murray, National Review
The federal government has become an entity with agendas that have nothing to do with serving the American people and everything to do with the health and well-being of the federal government itself.
