The spiritual core of political hate
“A new study confirms that creeping tribalism has Americans bitterly divided, acrimonious, and dismissive of others based on political differences,” says Rev. Ben Johnson in this week’s Acton Commentary. “Behind this animosity lies a spiritual principle that Rev. Timothy Keller touched on during his address at this year’s Acton Institute annual dinner.” The problem, Keller said, is that people chose a “modern identity” by defining pletely with one, selected characteristic or feeling. Often, it is a profession, especially high-status careers...
What exactly is the unemployment rate?
Note: This is post #98 in a weekly video series on basic economics. If someone has a job, they’re defined as “employed.” But does that mean that everyone without a job is unemployed? Not exactly. For the official statistics, you have to meet quite a few criteria to be considered unemployed in the U.S., explains economist Alex Tabarrok. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Tabarrok explains how unemployment is officially defined by the federal government. (If you find the...
The enduring influence of Russell Kirk’s ‘The Conservative Mind’
This is the seventh in a series celebrating the work of Russell Kirk in honor of his 100th birthday this October. Read more from the serieshere. Back in the glory days of the Reagan years, I considered myself a rather hard-core libertarian. My mom—one of the most brilliant and well-read persons I have ever known (and ever will)—was a devout Goldwaterite and munist. She read everything under the sun, and she encouraged me to do the same, never censoring anything....
Rev. Tim Keller on how the modern identity presents problems for life and business
On October 17, Rev. Timothy Keller delivered a keynote speech to a sold-out audience at the Acton Institute’s 2018 Annual Dinner. In his address, Keller explains the concepts of “traditional identity” and “modern identity” and their prevalence in present-day culture. Modern identity, claims Keller, presents serious problems for the contemporary business world. Keller presents the Gospel as the answer to modern issues of identity. From engaging work by scholars such as Charles Taylor to reciting lyrics from Disney’sFrozen, Keller’s municates...
Explainer: What you should know about the White House’s report on socialism
What just happened? On Tuesday the White House released “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism,” a report outlining the “opportunity costs of socialism on the macro economy, including standards of living, and the impact on the Federal budget.” What is the purpose of the report? The purpose of 70-page report (the main text is 55 pages while the list of references is 15 pages), which was produced by the Council of Economic Advisers, is to “evaluate the claims of modern U.S....
Does social media compromise free will?
In an article for Law and Liberty, Michael Matheson Miller, a research fellow at the Acton Institute, reflects on the book “10 Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.” Written by Jaron Lanier, a “technologist and musician”, “10 Arguments” shares thought-provoking ideas about the dangers and risks involved with social media. “It’s worth noting that Lanier is not anti-technology,” Miller writes. Working panies like Atari and Microsoft, Lanier has devoted much of his life to the tech industry....
Rev. Tim Keller on the myth of omnicompetence
One of the dangers of forming a modern identity around achievement is what Rev. Tim Keller calls “the success-failure whiplash.” Succeeding in one area can cause people to believe they have the skills and inner qualities to do anything, and everything, alone – that they are petent. Keller discussed the process in his address to the Acton Institute’s 2018 annual dinner, which he titled “Identity, Business, and the Christian Gospel”: If your identity has e your business and your profession,...
Manna and the land: God’s methods of miraculous provision
Throughout the Bible, we see miraculous moments of God’s immediate provision. He provides manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness (Ex. 16). For Elijah, he uses ravens to deliver bread and meat and later supplies daily meal and oil (1 Kings 17). He provides wine for the wedding at Cana (John 2). He multiples loaves and fishes among Jesus’ disciples to feed a crowd of five thousand (Matthew 14). Yet if God is able to intervene and provide...

The nation-state and security of freedom
In a recent article for Law and Liberty, Samuel Gregg, Acton’s Director of Research, reviews French political scientist Gil Delannoi’s new book Le nation contre le nationalisme. “Since 2016,” Gregg writes, “it has e evident that millions of people are not content to be herded, sheep-like, by intellectuals, techno-utopians, and supranational bureaucrats down the path of global governance. Their discontent is being expressed through a renewed emphasis upon the nation and an associated stress on nation-state sovereignty.” This emphasis on...
