Rev. Robert Sirico on Laudato Si
Climate change is a prominent and contentious topic in our current political sphere. Pope Francis offers a perspective on the issue, but church leaders have expressed differing opinions. As Christians, how should we approach environmental concerns? WABE, a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, and an affiliate of National Public Radio, published an article titled, “Atlanta Seen as a Leader in Catholic Response to the Pope’s Environmental Message”. In the article, several Catholic leaders respond to Pope Francis’ Laudato Si, the...
Time to deep-six the Jones Act?
In the past three years New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts have announced plans to build offshore wind farms that would generate hundreds of megawatts of power. Massachusetts and New Jersey have already awarded building contracts to panies and New York is in the process of reviewing bids. With an energy sector that is facing more and more pressure to decarbonize, the expansion of offshore wind is likely. But there is a major hurdle in the way. One rarely discussed...
Who’s an Old Whig?
“Old Whig” isn’t a political term that trips off the tongue these days. The phrase itself was coined by Edmund Burke in his August 1791 pamphlet An Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs in which he sought to explain to some of his erstwhile colleagues why his rejection of the French Revolution was entirely consistent with Whig principles rather than a betrayal. The pamphlet has many effects, one of which was to help split the Whig party on...
‘Wisdom’s Work’: Exploring the earthiness of the Christian life
Christians have long struggled to fully understand and embody our position of dual citizenship—being in the world but not of it. Torn between faulty, formulaic approaches to cultural engagement, it can be hard to keep the faith, let alone allow our faith to fuel our earthly actions. In Wisdom’s Work: Essays on Ethics, Vocation, and Culture, recently published by the Acton Institute, J. Daryl Charles explores these tensions, seeking a path toward a broader and richer cultural faithfulness. Rather than...
How fiscal policy can lead to ‘crowding out’
Note: This is post #128 in a weekly video series on basic economics. Effective fiscal policy has to be timely, targeted, and temporary. But how the central bank, businesses, and consumers respond to fiscal policy also plays a role in how effective it is, says economist Alex Tabarrok. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok considers how about how businesses and consumers might respond to expansionary fiscal policy. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow,...
Cronyism vs. free markets in ‘Stranger Things’
The newest season of Netflix’s sci-fi horror series Stranger Things released on July 4, and I’m happy to report that season 3 has a new hero, and her name is Erica. (This post focuses entirely on episode 4 of the new season, so anyone who hasn’t watched up to that point yet should beware of spoilers.) Erica is the younger sister of Lucas, one of the four D&D-playing boys at the center of the series. This isn’t her first appearance...
Acton Line podcast: Glimmers of faith in North Korea; American religious liberty in a secular age
On June 14, an International Coalition for Religious Freedom in North Korea was launched, consisting of almost 200 activists, including Thae Yong-ho, a North Korean diplomat and defector to South Korea. President and co-founder of Acton Institute, Rev. Robert Sirico joins the podcast to talk munism in North Korea as well as his hopes for the coalition. On the second segment, Bruce Ashford, professor of theology at Soueastern Baptist Theological Seminary, addresses the relationship between family and state, plus ways...
The amazing story of how Albanians helped American GIs escape to freedom
I was working at Acton University in June, helping speakers with their audio/visual needs in the lecture rooms, when I was approached by conference attendee I had never met before. His name was Clinton W. Abbott and he had learned earlier during the conference in Grand Rapids that there was an Albanian working with Acton. That girl was me. This is not so unusual at Acton U. because it is a very international gathering. But Abbott shared a story with...
Democrats propose to eliminate over a million jobs held by the working poor
The Democratic presidential candidates are in agreement on a proposal to eliminate 1.3 million jobs nationwide. That’s not the way they would frame the issue, of course. Saying that you will eliminate over a million jobs held by the poorest people in America is not exactly a winning message. Instead, they frame it as a pay increase—a doubling of the federal hourly minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 by 2025. Will Americans be fooled? The Congressional Budget Office(CBO), an independent,...
The BBC’s critique of ‘I, Pencil’ misses the point
Leonard Read’s immortal essay “I, Pencil” has persuaded more people of the wonders of the free market than possibly any parable work – so many that the BBC recently posted an article attacking it. However, anyone reading both articles will conclude that Read’s es out looking sharper. The mere fact that Read’s article can still elicit rebuttals 60 years after it appeared in theDecember 1958 issueof FEE’sThe Freemanis testimony to its significance. As such a powerful and persuasive essay, it...
