Uruguay’s dignifying prison: Entrepreneurship as rehabilitation
The United States faces significant challenges when es to prisoner rehabilitation. According to a recent study, more than 700,000 prisoners are released annually from federal and state prisons. Unfortunately, “within three years, 40 percent will be reincarcerated.” To curb that trend, we’ve seen a range of efforts to improve correctional education and find better ways of supporting prisoners in their journeys toward social reconnection. Yet one of the most effective and inspiring examples is found in a country not typically...
Alejandro Chafuen in Forbes: Opus Dei and Jesuit priests against socialism
For most of the 20th century, Marxism set its sights on state authority and openly political and economic goals. In more recent decades, though, many proponents of Marxism and other socialist stripes have sought to sow change on a societal and cultural level – a trend which some have termed “cultural Marxism.” Two authors who not only condemned Marxism but also saw its cultural transition early on are Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz Braña, current prelate of Opus Dei, and Rev. Enrique...
Bernie Sanders cares more about unions than he does his own workers
Who would have predicted that the hottest labor dispute of the summer would be between the workers and management of Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign? Sanders is a long-time champion of raising the federal minimum to $15 an hour, so his campaign workers assumed they’d earn that level of pay too: Campaign field hires have demanded an annual salary they say would be equivalent to a $15-an-hour wage, which Sanders for years has said should be the federal minimum. The organizers...
Bernie Sanders’s workers wanted $15 an hour—so he cut their hours
On Friday I mentioned the ongoing labor dispute between the workers and management of Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. The longtime advocate of raising the federal minimum to $15 an hour is finding that it’s easy plain about greedy employers until you e the one having to make payroll. Presidential campaigns are labor intensive and require an army of low-skilled workers who are willing to work long hours performing rote and mundane task. But as Sanders has discovered, paying for such...
One nation under debt
The federal debt is a risk to our future. The nation’s growing debt will weaken our economy and threaten our safety and security. Unfortunately, politicians either avoid the issue or suggest reforms that sound good but can’t solve the problem. However, there is a way forward if we act soon, note John Cogan, Daniel Heil, and John Raisian. ...
Bernie Sanders: The apologist for inequality
Since Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy for president in the 2020 election, he has brought a seemingly disastrous and looming problem to the attention of the American people, much like he did in his 2016 run: e inequality panied by the tyrannical rule of the elite 1%. Why did someone who seems to be so radical have such a big influence on the Democratic primary in 2016, and have such support in this new race? It’s because he took something...
The Imaginative Conservative reviews Samuel Gregg’s new book
Dwight Longenecker of The Imaginative Conservative published a detailed review of Samuel Gregg’s new book, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization. He presents a summary of the book, praises Dr. Gregg for his work, and offers his mentary on the matters presented in the book. Longenecker writes, After an opening chapter which uses Pope Benedict XVI’s Regensburg address to introduce the threats to Western civilization, Dr. Gregg goes on to explain the unique cultural chemistry that brought about...
A victory for socialism? The Israeli Kibbutz
While eating lunch at an Israeli Kibbutz last winter, I learned firsthand about what used to be a self-contained, munity. I was struck by the local guide’s positive view of socialism, believing it to produce munal life and economic prosperity. The guide’s praise only echoes A.I. Rabin and Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi from Michigan State University who wrote that “[t]he most successful attempt at building a mune has been the Israeli Kibbutz.” The optimism expressed by these observations is not without cause...
Explainer: Who is Boris Johnson?
Boris Johnson, a champion of free trade and lower taxes, will serve as the next prime minister of the UK beginning on Wednesday, July 24. Officials announced on Tuesday that Johnson won 66.4 percent of the Conservative Party’s popular vote, besting rival Jeremy Hunt 92,153 votes to 46,656. In his victory speech, Johnson thanked his opponent, Jeremy Hunt, for being “a font of good idaeas, all of which I propose to steal,.” He also praised outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May...
New resources to understand ‘Nordic socialism’
Up to 20 forms of life are likely to survive a nuclear war: strains of bacteria, certain insects, and the myth of Nordic socialism. Despite those nations’ most dogged attempts to educate North Americans that they are not socialist, the idea that they present a model of “successful socialism” persists. Three new resources can deepen our understanding of the issue. The pares the tax rates of Sweden with the UK. True, the UK has slightly higher e inequality as measured...
