Europe without roots
Optimism is obligatory, but it's cheap. In the current situation, there is a heavy price to pay. Relativism has wreaked havoc, and it continues to act as a mirror and an echo chamber for the dark mood that has fallen over the West. It has paralyzed the West, when it is already disoriented and at a standstill, rendered it defenseless when it is already acquiescent, and confused it when it is already reluctant to rise to the challenge. One...
How does Acton's Rome office contribute to the mission of the Acton Institute?
The Acton Institute has a number of affiliates around the world, but when it came time to establish a presence in Rome, the institute opted not to start another affiliate, but to open a new Acton office, Istituto Acton. This allows the institute and its Grand Rapids staff to work closely with the Rome staff on a number of important projects that further our mission to promote a free and virtuous society on the international stage. A large part...
What is the Acton Institute doing to support promising young scholars?
An important part of the work of the Acton Institute is promoting the scholarship of tomorrow. Aside from offering conferences, seminars, and publication, the Acton Institute promotes scholarship monetarily. The Calihan Academic Fellowships, Research Fellowships, and Travel Grants provide monetary assistance to students of special potential, encouraging them to explore the intersection of religious principles with human dignity, the importance of the rule of law, limited government, and religious and economic liberty. Following are some examples of our Calihan...
The challenge of globalization to the Church
The Acton Institute is midway through a series of lectures – eight in Rome and one in Poland – celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Centesimus Annus, Pope John Paul II's landmark social encyclical. The lecture series started in October 2005 and will continue through 2007. The following is taken from Centesimus Annus, Globalization, and Individual Development, an ing monograph itself expanded from Lord Griffiths's address delivered on October 19, 2006, in Rome. The church has the potential to tackle...
Jewish theology and economic theory
There has been very little work by orthodox Jewish scholars on the relationship among socialism, capitalism, and Judaism. Careful reading of the relevant literature, however, suggests that it is possible to posit five basic axioms of Jewish economic theory from which many economic policy implications can be deduced. Although not exhaustive, our five axioms represent, to the best of our knowledge, the first attempt to formulate a parsimonious list of basic principles that help systematize the foundations of what...
Editor's note
In our feature interview in this issue of R&L, Chuck Colson makes reference to the now-famous lecture Pope Benedict XVI gave at Regensburg last September. The heart of that lecture was the relationship of faith and reason. In the course of arguing that each needs the other, Pope Benedict raised questions about Islam that garnered worldwide attention. But Pope Benedict's point was not principally about Islam. His point was that religious faith, when not purified by reason, can lose...
The creative imperative
This article was excerpted from Samuel Gregg's The Commercial Society: Foundations and Challenges in a Global Age, a new book published by Lexington Books. Commercial society's impact upon poverty is not simply a result of the unintended consequences of market exchange. It owes much mercial society's particular moral foundations. By moral foundations, we mean particular values and habits of action indispensable for the workings mercial society. What follows is an attempt to mercial society's basic moral foundations. Taken together,...
Interest and responsibility
Since at least the Middle Ages, the payment and receipt of interest has existed under a moral cloud, due mainly to a misunderstanding concerning what interest is and why it exists. Medieval theologians gradually came around to the view that now prevails in economic science. What connects all forms of interest is the insight that interest is nothing more or less than the exchange ratios between different time horizons. If I prefer to save now, I must put off...
