The Economy of Wisdom: Learning as a Pathway to Love
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.“ -John 1:1-3 In Episode 5 of For the Life of the World, Evan Koons wonders about the purpose of knowledge. “Is it about power?” he asks. “Man’s conquest of nature? …ameans for securing a healthy nest egg for retirement?” As he...
Radio Free Acton: F.H. Buckley on The Rise of Crown Government in America
F.H. Buckley speaks at the Acton Institute On this edition of Radio Free Acton, I was privileged to speakwith F. H. Buckley, Foundation Professor at George Mason University School of Law and author of a number of books, his latest being The Once and Future King: The Rise of Crown Government in America.

Fleeing Evil: On The Run From Boko Haram
Those schoolgirls captured by Boko Haram? Most are still missing. A boys’ school was bombed. Boko Haram says it wasn’t them, but the people don’t believe them. In Nigeria, for many people, life is about staying one step ahead of Boko Haram, trying to safeguard their children from getting swept up in the claws of this evil entity. In neighboring Adamawa state, almost 9,500 displaced people now live in a giant camp — one of five for displaced people in...
There’s More to the Story About the 90-Year-Old Charged With Feeding the Homeless
Cities across America – from Pensacola, Florida to Honolulu, Hawaii — have increasingly taken strong measures to discourage the homeless from making a home within their city limits. So it didn’t seem surprising when the media ran with a story last week about two pastors and a 90-year-old homeless advocate “Charged With Feeding Homeless.” As the AP reported, To Arnold Abbott, feeding the homeless in a public park in South Florida was an act of charity. To the city of...
The Faces Of Modern Slavery

She says of her work: No matter how dire, how hard their experience of life has been becauseof theirsufferingas a slave, these people still have dignity,sensitivity,humanness and beauty. These images are not intended to be spectacles of horror; they’re intended to engage people in connectingsowe realize we’re all brothersand sisters.” Kristine says of this...
The World’s Most Persecuted Minority
The most persecuted and victimized people in the world today are Christians in the Middle East. Middle East expert Raymond Ibrahim lays out the grim details, and wonders why this human rights tragedy of our time is largely ignored by the Western media. ...
Tim Scott on How to Eradicate Poverty
LBJ’s so-called “war on poverty” kicked off a trajectory of public policy that has shown a remarkable tendency to create more of the same — affirming cycles of dependency, disintegrating relational capital, and over-elevating material tinkering to the detriment of the permanent things. Yet somehow the prevailing narrative still holds that those same sickly policies are the best we can hope for, and anyone who disagrees is an enemy of the poor. If moneyshall be transferred from Person X to...
Happy Birthday Marines!
Today marks the 239th birthday of the finest fighting force in the history of the world. The Marine Corps Birthday makes me nostalgic for the good ol’ days of . . . well, okay, maybe good is too strong a word. In fact, I can’t say that I miss being on active duty (15 years was more than enough). But I do miss being with my fellow Marines. To give you an idea of what the life of a Marine...
What a Veteran Knows
“Thank you for your service,” they say, as they shake our hands and pat our backs. We smile and thank them for their gratitude and try to think of something else to talk about. These encounters with strangers happen from time to time, though always on Veteran’s Day. It’s the one time we can count on civilians—a group from which we came but can never fully return—to think about us. On Veteran’s Day, they think of the men and women...
Mass Sterilizations In India Leads To Deaths
It’s one of those stories that makes anyone with an iota of sense scratch their head and wonder ironically, “What could possibly go wrong?” India’s government has long been pushing for its citizens to have smaller families. In that quest, the government pays medical personnel for each subject they can round up and get to a government-run sterilization hospital. (Poor people preferred, by the way.) The government will also pay poor folks to be sterilized. Currently, nine women are dead...
