Approximately three-quarters of Americans give their time and money to various charities, churches, and causes; the other quarter of the population does not. Why has America split into two nations: givers and non-givers? <P> Arthur Brooks, a top scholar of economics and public policy, has spent years researching this trend, and even he was surprised by what he found. In <I>Who Really Cares</I>, he demonstrates conclusively that conservatives really are compassionate-far more compassionate than their liberal foes. Strong families, church attendance, earned income (as opposed to state-subsidized income), and the belief that individuals, not government, offer the best solution to social ills-all of these factors determine how likely one is to give. <P> Charity matters--not just to the givers and to the recipients, but to the nation as a whole. It is crucial to our prosperity, happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people. In <I>Who Really Cares</I>, Brooks outlines strategies for expanding the ranks of givers, for the good of all Americans. 54727 27 11 2006 Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism total:68|5:13|4:32|3:16|2:6|1:1| 68 254 143 26 4 1 false false Sat Feb 09 17:09:31 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 17:13:43 -0800 2008
