How Climate Change Panic Leads to Forced Sterilizations and Death in India
When es to the issue of anthropomorphic climate change, I tend to be “acognostic”—I’m not convinced we even have the cognitive ability to determine whether climate change is occurring, much less whether it can be attributed to human activity. But I have no doubt that the responses to perceived climate change have already been disastrous for humanity. Take, for example, the British government’s use of climate change as an excuse for population control. In 2010, a working paper published by...

The Perils of Pedocracy
Portrait of a Child Prince, Wikimedia Commons “Anyone concerned with the future,” wrote Sergius Bulgakov, is most anxious about the younger generation. But to be spiritually dependent on it, to truckle to its opinions and take it as a standard, testifies to a society’s spiritual weakness. In any case, an entire historical period and the whole spiritual tenor of intelligentsia heroism are symbolized by the fact that the ideal of the Christian saint, the ascetic, has been replaced here by...
The Moral Case for Capitalism
The philosophical demise of socialism has caused many on the economic left to change plaint about free-market capitalism. While it may be effective, they now say, es at the cost of human goods munity and social solidarity. Such claims are monplace in policy debates. But are they true? James R. Otteson explains why such criticism are not as strong as some people might think: munity. Capitalism gives us incentives to trade and associate with people outside our munity, plete strangers,...
Ross Douthat and the Value of Traditional Christianity for America
In his new book, Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat explores the present decline—economic recession, a divisive, stagnant political climate and a deteriorating moral structure—of American civilization. Rather than citing religious excess or wide scale secularization as the problem, Douthat points his finger at what he calls “bad religion,” or, four basic heresies that present faux-Gospels contrary to the Christian faith. Douthat’s solution, presented in the book’s es in the form...

Calls for freedom, democracy, and secularism end up with “none of the above,” says Hunter Baker: You can find a lot of interesting things on Twitter packaged in pithy statements of no more than 140 characters each. Some of you may recall that in the aftermath of the 2009 election in Iran, a number of protesters claimed that the government had tampered with the results to stay in power. Twitter was a key channel they used both to express their...
