Marx vs. the universal basic income
While a universal basic e has been advocated by everyone from Bernie Sanders to Charles Murray and Pope Francis, the name most associated with wealth redistribution is Marx. However, in a little-known writing Marx specifically opposed the UBI, calling it inefficient and counterproductive. The policy would leave many of its intended beneficiaries worse off, he wrote. Of course, we’re discussing Ive Marx, an economist and sociology professor at the University of Antwerp. Marx’s scholarly work focuses on wealth redistribution and...
Cooperation, not coercion, will defeat COVID-19
As the COVID-19 crisis rolls on, many of America’s governors have continued to impose, extend, or add new restrictions to stay-at-home orders. This has led to increasingly arbitrary rule-making and growing criticism over the prudence and practicality of such measures. Thankfully, individuals and institutions rely on more than government diktats to guide their behavior. In turn, amid the government overreach and tense ideological debates, civil society appears to be self-governing rather well—marked by plenty of individual restraint, collective wisdom, and...
Acton Line podcast: Randy Barnett and David French on ‘common-good Constitutionalism’
On March 31, The Atlantic published an article titled “Beyond Originalism,” written by Adrian Vermeule, professor of Constitutional law at Harvard Law School. In this piece, Vermeule argues that “the dominant conservative philosophy for interpreting the constitution has served its purpose and scholars ought to develop a more moral framework.” Originalist interpretations of the Constitution simply no longer serve mon good, Vermeule says. What does he mean by this, and is he correct? In this episode, we’re featuring two different...
Pope Francis endorses universal basic income on Easter Sunday?
For Christians, Easter memorates the good news of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead. For leftists, this Easter brought the good news that Pope Francis seemingly endorsed a universal basic e. The pope raised the controversial topic in a message to the World Meeting of Popular Movements. The letter, which is dated April 12, bears Pope Francis’ signature. The pope began by mon laborers as the victims of global trade who are “excluded from the benefits of globalization” but “always...
Civil society in a time of pandemic
As the coronavirus spreads, federal, state, and local governments are wrestling with how to handle the crisis. So are civil associations, churches, businesses, and families. The role of civil society is often neglected, but it could be the most important. Governments are useful in times of crisis. They can address particular problems on a scale that no one else can. There’s also the danger that powers consolidated by governments during crises won’t be given up when the crisis ends. I...
Lord Acton, Sohrab Ahmari, and the fragility of faith
People have been making some drastic changes to their lives to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Some have taken this challenge as an opportunity to grow in wisdom. Others have been called to learn new skills, and still others are doing whatever they can to keep their bearings in a time of crisis. Some are coping in less salutary ways, like spouting anger online. Online debates can be stimulating, sometimes heated, and rarely edifying. This is particularly true of debates...
Hope: the theological, economic virtue
On Holy Saturday, I wrote the last of my series of “Lentenomics” articles on virtues and the good economy for the Italian daily La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana. I invited readers to reflect on “Hope: In ourselves and in our exchanges with others and God.” Without hope–which I divide into its natural and supernatural dimensions–I conclude that economies would neither stimulate risk nor develop a culture of trust among fellow market participants and God. As a result, they would not form...
The synthesis of religion and liberty during the COVID-19 pandemic
Rev. Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, reflects on the notion that we have freedom, not to do just what we want, but to do what we ought. What does this mean during a time of global pandemic? Be sure to check out the other videos in this series, linked below. Thoughts from Rev. Robert Sirico during the coronavirus pandemic How freer markets can help during the coronavirus crisis with Rev. Robert Sirico Government bailouts and debt:...
