The Dumbed‐Down Discourse Dilemma
Some critics worry that the average quality of public discourse in liberal democracies is deplorably low. An example of this is that superficial media content enjoys a much broader audience than highly informative content. States can take various measures to improve the quality of public discourse. For example, states can implement strong incentives for private outlets to produce content of high quality. Should states implement such measures? Thi…
Greedy Work and the New Gendered Division of Labour
Recent years have seen the emergence of a new gendered division of labour. More men than women occupy ‘greedy jobs’ that offer high wages and swift career progress in return for long work hours and unforeseeable schedules. As a result, women earn less income and occupy fewer positions of power than men. This division of labour is the result of patriarchal norms that make it costlier for women than for men to occupy greedy jobs. This article analy…

The main claim is that policymakers have a decisive welf…

Free Time Across the Life Course
In most industrialised countries, citizens enjoy a very large amount of free time towards the end of their lives, when they are retired, but find it very costly to access free time during the middle part of their lives. This is concerning because those who die early are deprived of the reward of free time that retirement holds. Extreme discrepancies between a time-rich old age and a time-scarce middle age are not, however, inevitable: some states…
The rat race and working time regulation
To what extent, if at all, should a just society adopt public policies that regulate and limit the amount of time people work? Attempts to answer this question face a dilemma: Either, we can adopt a laissez-faire view, according to which governments must refrain from imposing working time policies on the labour market. But this view generates a situation in which many citizens experience deep regret about the balance between work and leisure in t…
