IN BRIEF

Fewer File for Unemployment Benefits

AUGUST 10, 2012

“The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell unexpectedly last week, offering hope that some of last month’s improvement in job growth could be sustained and give the economy a lift.” (New York Times)

And yet participation in the labor force is down.

CURRENT ISSUE

June 2013

Cities are vast, complex orders that emerge from the voluntary actions of millions of people. In this issue, we take a look at them, from Sandy Ikeda's examination of the invisible blueprints that define cities, to Rod Lockwood's concept of a free city that could rescue Detroit, to Troy Camplin's theories of why cities exemplify the unity of paradox that defines beauty. Speaking of beauty, we reintroduce poetry to The Freeman. We also introduce The Arena, a monthly debate feature, and much, much more.Download Free PDF
