La situación del coronavirus en América Latina
Traducido por Joshua Gregor Este artículo se publicó originalmente en . Hasta ahora el coronavirus ha causado menos caos en América Latina que en Europa y los Estados Unidos. Pero incluso si el calor del verano ayuda a erradicar el virus en el hemisferio norte, será casi imposible que el movimiento de personas entre Norteamérica y Sudamérica vuelva a la normalidad si los países latinoamericanos no logran detener el virus. La incertidumbre más grande en Norteamérica es lo qué pasará...
Acton Line podcast: Rev. Robert Sirico on the church’s response to COVID-19
As the United States continues to wrestle with the fallout of COVID-19, many people are falling back on their faith and the church for peace. Many churches have decided to hold services online, and local governments have also stepped in and put parameters around church attendance to help mitigate the spread of the virus. Some actions taken by local governments have been appropriate, but some others leave us wondering if the government has overstepped. How can we tell the difference...
Many prisoners released over COVID-19 have reoffended. Here are 3 lessons we can learn from that.
On Friday at The Stream, I wrote about the policy of releasing prisoners from penitentiaries in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Perhaps hundreds of those who have been released mitted new pounding the tragedies the American people must suffer during this global pandemic. In New York state alone, 50 freed inmates found themselves back in jail within three weeks. Last week at the Cato Institute, Clark Neily advocated broader release of prisoners and a fundamental rethinking of...
Rev. Sirico: How to heal soul, body and economy after a pandemic
The government-focused debate over how to emerge from the coronavirus shutdowns has been too dismissive of faith and private initiative, says Acton Institute President and Co-founder Rev. Robert A. Sirico in a new radio interview. In a wide-ranging discussion on Respect Life Radio, hosted by Deacon Geoff Bennett, Rev. Sirico began by outlining a wholistic response to the global pandemic. The public square has been dominated by petencies: science, economics, and faith, he says. “The extremes that people can take...
The great price of America’s great lockdown
One reason why economists are viewed as modern-day Cassandras is that they tell us many things we don’t want to hear. Economics points relentlessly to the costs and benefits associated with particular decisions about alternative uses of scarce resources. Not everyone likes to be reminded of the trade-offs and unintended consequences that flow from different choices. Some of those side-effects touch upon political questions. How much liberty are we prepared to exchange for some assurance of security? Are we willing...
Rev. Sirico: The dangers of accepting government money, even in a crisis
Rev. Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, reflects on the ways government programs and government money can be corrupting, even when those programs may seem necessary during a crisis. Rev. Sirico shares why the Acton Institute will not be applying for the Paycheck Protection Program and how other businesses and non-profits should weigh the benefits and risks of government relief programs like this. ...
In a pandemic, the poor need global markets more than ever
The coronavirus global pandemic has scrambled everything from economic policy to geopolitics. This disruption has created space for many to reconsider the world’s pre-coronavirus arrangements. Trade and globalization will undoubtedly be on the menu for renegotiation. As the world again considers the extent to which it wants to be interconnected, we must continue to forge a path that connects as many people to markets as possible. It is this arrangement, and this arrangement alone, that has led to the greatest...
Don’t seize Harvard’s endowment. Cut off federal funding.
William F. Buckley Jr. frequently told the joke about the doctor who asked his patient what he planned to do now that he had only a few months left to live. The patient said he would join the Communist Party: “Better one of them should go than one of us.” Conservatives often have the right diagnosis of the problem but the wrong solution. One such case is the proposal for the federal government to tax, or seize, the endowments of...
The persecution of Jimmy Lai
It’s no secret that China isn’t exactly flavor of the month throughout the world right now. Before the court of global opinion, the reputation of the Chinese regime is about as low as it can go. That, however, does not appear to be deterring China’s Communist leadership from continuing to behave in ways which have rightfully drawn upon it the odium of the world. There are of course plenty of people in China who disapprove of their government’s actions. The...
Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer and the limits of science
There have been many responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in all spheres of life from businesses, educational institutions, churches, and within close intimate human relationships. Most of these responses have arisen spontaneously as people’s duties to protect themselves and others, both individuals munities, have e plain to them. Government at all levels has also acted, imposing a series of sometimes necessary but often arbitrary and capricious restrictions on economic and social life. Protests from citizens concerned with the economic and...
