Surprise: ‘Segregation’ Does Not Undermine African American Well-Being
Every now and then I run across a series of studies that makes me wonder if white progressives are among the most narcissistic cohort of professionals in America. There seems to be this pervasive myth that simply being around white people adds value to the flourishing of blacks in America. This myth often extends to interpreting data along axes that are nothing less than insane. For example, it is often (mis)believed that when black students are in schools that are...

George Gilder and the Inspiring Rhetoric of Entrepreneurial Activity
You may — alright, so you definitely will — need a tab with Google open to be able to look up all the big words he uses in his penetrating prose, but George Gilder is a masterful writer and inspiring advocate for entrepreneurial activity. I’ve been reading through the revised-and-updated edition of Wealth and Poverty this past week and I am astounded all over again at the unrelenting, unapologetic way he articulates the case for free enterprise, limited government, and...

A Failure to Save
Photo Credit: Alan Cleaver via Compfight cc This first appeared in my newsletter,Economic Prospect, inlate 2008. Looking back after five years I still like it. The American failure to save is matched by our insistence on spending to have it all. One part of the problem is the consumer’s love of debt. The other part is the government’s love of debt. Both love debt to enjoy things now and to put off the day of reckoning. How did we get...
Catholic Chaplains Face Possible Arrest During Government Shutdown
There is a shortage of Catholic priests who serve members of the US military and their families, and it looks as if the government shutdown is going to make the situation worse. According to John Schlageter, general counsel for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, priests (whether they are active military or priests privately contracted by the military) will not be allowed to offer Mass or offer other religious services on military installations. (Some Protestant services may also be affected,...
The Devil and Antonin Scalia
In Stephen Vincent Benét’s 1937 short story, “The Devil and Daniel Webster“, the famous American statesman not only gets Jabez Stone, a farmer who sold his soul to the devil, out of the contract, he gets Mr. Scratch to agree “never to bother Jabez Stone nor his heirs or assigns nor any other New Hampshire man till doomsday!” Webster was likely an excellent lawyer, but if I was in a lawsuit with the devil today I think I’d rather have...

Coyner declared: All of the traits in Washington that we decry are actually an outgrowth of the messed-up values in our whole culture. plain about over-spending by Congress, but the average American household is spending 103%...
