Editor's note
It's always appropriate to discuss the tragedy of poverty, perhaps even more so with the approaching 50th anniversary of many of The Great Society programs. Much of America's government centralization has been motivated by movements to alleviate poverty and care for the downtrodden. An iconic Life Magazine photo spread in 1964 titled, The Valley of Poverty visualized for Americans haunting images of poverty in Appalachia. But many agree that the government's war on poverty has largely been a failure...
Creative Destruction
It is heart-breaking: a major city in our nation, Detroit, filing for bankruptcy. For anyone having visited Detroit recently, there are prominent images: rows of ruined houses, empty lots given over to weeds and strewn garbage, empty storefronts and graffiti. Just a few decades ago, Detroit was a major hub of industry, vitality and culture. Many issues are at play here, and I don't mean to discuss them all. Instead, I wish to focus on something I related in...
Margaret Thatcher
No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well. Margaret Thatcher was the only female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and was leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. Thatcher won the general election for Prime Minister three times (1979, 1983, and 1987) before finally stepping down in 1990. Conservatives hail Thatcher as the Iron Lady for her unwavering conviction to her political beliefs manding leadership style....
Why is Acton Participating in ArtPrize?
Philanthropist Rick DeVos has described ArtPrize, a public petition within the city of Grand Rapids, as a celebration of creativity. DeVos developed ArtPrize five years ago and it's been instrumental in the continued economic and cultural development of downtown Grand Rapids. The petition and exhibits epitomizes the characteristics of human flourishing. That is one of the reasons it makes sense for the Acton Institute to lend its support and get involved as one of the display venues. ArtPrize, which...
Poverty and ultimate riches
An Interview with Fr. James Schall, S.J. Father James Schall was a Professor in the Department of Government at Georgetown University for over 35 years. He retired from that position in 2012. He is the author of numerous books, including: Another Sort of Learning (Ignatius Press, 1988); Idylls and Rambles (Ignatius Press, 1994); and Religion, Wealth and Poverty (Fraser Institute Press, 1990). His most recent book is Reasonable Pleasures: The Strange Coherences of Catholicism (Ignatius Press, 2013). In August...
The tipped scales against our youth
If you listen to any pop-music outlet today, there is a song titled American Girl by Bonnie McKee. In the song's chorus, the line states, I was raised by a television, every day is petition. It is unclear whether that line was written out of a sociological observation, life experiences of the songs' writers, or simply because it is catchy. Regardless, those of us left sitting on the wire observing society, are left to ponder whether the line has...
Double-edged sword: The power of the Word - Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. This passage is unique amongst the Psalms because the refrain His love endures forever is repeated throughout all 26 verses of the Psalm. As the British evangelist and theologian Charles Spurgeon points out, We shall have this [refrain] repeated in every verse of this song, but not once too often. No matter what we give to the Lord or offer Him, He always offers so much...
A Catholic Revolutionary
This article is excerpted from Tea Party Catholic by Samuel Gregg. The new book draws upon Catholic teaching, natural law theory, and the thought of the only Catholic Signer of America's Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton—the first Tea Party Catholic—to develop a Catholic case for the values and institutions associated with the free economy, limited government, and America's experiment in ordered liberty. On October 15, 1774, the ship Peggy Stewart owned by the Annapolis pany of Dick...
