Human Events on “The Call of the Entrepreneur”
Human Events on “The Call of the Entrepreneur”
Mar 3, 2026 2:16 PM

Erika Andersen reviewed the “The Call of the Entrepreneur” for Human Events in a piece titled, “Entrepreneurship Preserves Life as We Know It.” The Call premiered last week to DC audiences at the E Street Cinema, as part of the Renaissance Film Festival.

In her article Andersen noted the international interest in the film:

Though it initially seems like the tale of the American dream, “The Call of the Entrepreneur” is an international story and is now being translated into Spanish and other languages. In fact, the film experienced its largest premier audience in Nairobi, Kenya with over 450 attendees.

Andersen also easily recognizes the importance of calling, or vocation, in business and in free markets:

The stories restore faith in entrepreneurs’ ability to build lives, strengthen nations and economies as well as fulfill God-given destinies. The film denounces the myth that capitalists are self serving, arguing rather that they are almost wholly devoted to others.

Human Events is one of the oldest modern conservative publications, and the one that President Ronald Reagan called his “favorite newspaper.”

Rev. Sirico: Easter in the wake of the Notre Dame fire
It was a terrible thing on Monday to watch as flames consumed the beautiful and historic Notre Dame du Paris cathedral; I’m certain that I was not alone in fearing that before the conflagration was over, we would see that sublime e crashing down in a heap of ash and shattered stone. Thank God that was not the case, and that the courageous Paris fire brigade was able to bring the inferno under control before what would have been the...
Malaysian High Court upholds ban on Mustafa Akyol’s ‘Islam without Extremes’
The Malaysian High Court has upheld the previous Malaysian government’s ban on three books including Mustafa Akyol’s ‘Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty’. Akyol is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, where he focuses on public policy, Islam, and modernity. He makes a powerful case for reformist trends in Islam which reinterpret religious law by referring to the moral teachings at its core. His mitment to political, economic, and religious liberty...
As Notre Dame burns, the Cross stands firm
Many mented on the fact that Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral burned during Holy Week (see here or here or here for just a few examples), and rightfully so — the symbolism of death and the hope of resurrection is hard to miss. Particularly striking were the images of the cathedral’s golden cross still standing amid the wreckage. It being Holy Week, my first thoughts were three traditional invocations of the Cross of Christ. First was the motto of the Carthusians,...
What you may not know about members of Congress
[Note: This is the first in an occasional series, Remedial Civics, which provides information on what you should have learned in school—but probably didn’t—about how the U.S. government works (or doesn’t).] The Congress of the United States is a bicameral legislature, which means that it is made up of two chambers, or houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Here are some of the basic facts you should know about who they are and how they are elected. Congress...
Remedial civics for the rest of us
[Note: This is the introduction to an occasional series that provides information on what you should have learned in school—but probably didn’t—about how the U.S. government works (or why it doesn’t).] For most of my adult life I thought I knew how laws were made. Since the age of seven I had been reciting the lyrics to the 1976 Schoolhouse Rock! segment, “I’m Just a Bill,” and I had learned in civics class the es-law spiel so well I was...
How Jesus Christ upended the scapegoat myth: a Girardian interpretation
All societies, writes the French philosopher Rene Girard, are rooted in violence. Such violence has a mimetic dimension, which means that men are fated to mimic the behavior of other men. They like what others like, they desire what others desire. Inevitably, the dynamics of reciprocal imitation lead to disputes and social chaos. However, the human being rejects chaos and cries for the restoration of order; but without being able to get rid of the mimetic desire, one single solution...
How the Fed worked after the Great Recession
Note: This is post #120 in a weekly video series on basic economics. Last week we looked at how the U.S. Federal Reserve controlled the supply of money prior to the Great Recession. In response to the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed began to employ some new instruments and approaches to getting the economy back on track. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, economist Tyler Cowen looks at three of these new methods: quantitative easing, paying interest on reserves,...
When was the original Good Friday?
Today is Good Friday*, the religious holiday memorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. Christians have celebrated the event for over two millennia. But what was the date of the original Good Friday?Almost all scholars agree that Jesus was crucified in the spring of either A.D. 30 or A.D. 33. In their book,The Final Days of Jesus: The Most Important Week of the Most Important Person Who Ever Lived, Andreas Köstenberger and Justin Taylor contend that...
Alejandro Chafuen in Forbes: Bringing China and the West together with the help of Meng-Tzu
The ancient Chinese philosopher Meng-Tzu is usually known to Westerners by his Latinized name Mencius, if he is known to them at all. Though not famous outside his native China, Meng-Tzu left us many ideas worthy of consideration, and these often have unexpected parallels with more modern and familiar thinkers. Alejandro Chafuen, Acton’s Managing Director, International, examines some of these parallels in a piece published today for Forbes. Chafuen argues that Meng-Tzu’s ideas are worth remembering not only for their...
Why ‘national service’ is misguided nationalism
Earlier this week two presidential candidates ments that how nationalism is dominating American politics. The first came when South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg told Rachel Maddow “national service will e one of the themes of [my] 2020 campaign.” He said he hopes to “make it, if not legally obligatory, then a social norm.” This in itself is not all that surprising since promoting national service is part of the Democrat Party platform: We believe in the power of national service...
