West silent as genocide lurks in Syria
“This month marks the seventh anniversary of the start of the Syrian Civil War,” notes Trey Dimsdale in this week’s Acton Commentary. “Syria was, albeit governed by dictator Bashar al-Assad, a stable nation but today it is in ruins, with so many fault lines and battlefields that it is nearly impossible to sort out the contending interests inside the nation. The ripples of the conflict have reached every continent.” The war has given rise to the Islamic State, has triggered...
The unintended consequences of ‘ban the box’ legislation
Series note: Most of us realize that, for all our disagreements, our neighbors often have the best of intentions. But when es to public policy, good intentions are not enough to create human flourishing. That’s why a primary task of the Acton Institute is “connecting good intentions with sound economics.” Without sound economics as a foundation, good intentions tend to lead to detrimental unintended consequences. In this occasional series we examine policies and practices that are well-intended, but have negative,...
Why do Russian oligarchs hide their money in London?
Former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are clinging to life after being attacked with nerve gas in Salisbury. British Prime Minister Theresa May and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson plan to target the finances of Russian oligarchs in retaliation. Russian elites have spirited their cash to the UK via a dizzying array of British banks, businesses, and luxury properties: British banks reportedly processed $738 million in funds from an elaborate Russian money-laundering scheme known as “The Laundromat”;Transparency...
The new middle: BMW joins the apprenticeship renaissance
I recently highlighted the rise of hands-on vocational training in educational institutions across the State of Colorado, wondering whether such developments might signal the beginning of anapprenticeship renaissance in the United States. Indeed, many panies and industries are taking a similar approach, experimenting with a range of models for cultivating human capital in the modern age. In South Carolina, for example, BMW is now expanding its apprenticeship program at one of its largest manufacturing plants. BMW currently trains about 35...

The bishop, Balaam, and communism
‘Weltchronik. Böhmen’ by Rudolf von Ems Public Domain Lester DeKoster begins his book Communism and Christian Faith, now out in a new edition from Christian’s Library Press, with a quote from Bishop Joseph Butler’s sermon ‘Upon the Character of Balaam’: “Things and actions are what they are, and their consequences will be what they will be: why then should we seek to be deceived?” At first it seems transparently simple, obvious really, but in our day-to-day lives it is as...
5 Facts for World Water Day
Today is the 25th annual observance of World Water Day, a global initiative to focus attention on the importance of freshwater. Here are five facts you should know about safe and accessible water: 1. According to the United States Geological Survey Water Science School, almost two-thirds (71 percent) of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, though only 3.5 percent is freshwater. Out of the supply of freshwater: 68.7 percent is contained in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow; 30.1...
Love as a tesseract
Earlier this week at Public Discourse I wrote an essay on the dangers of individualism and collectivism, illustrated with literary samples from C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L’Engle respectively. I drew the image of an individualist hell from Lewis’ The Great Divorce, citing Napoleon as an eternal exile, not on Elba or Saint Helena but into everlasting perdition. As Abraham Kuyper once wondered, in a way that strikingly echoes Lewis’ insights, “That development of the sinful nature in accordance with its...
