Kuyper on Christians’ twofold citizenship
In 1887, Abraham Kuyper helped lead a secession from the mainline Reformed church in the Netherlands. A few months later at the Free University in Amsterdam, Kuyper delivered a speech entitled “Twofold Fatherland,” in which he describes the earthly and heavenly citizenship of Christians, and how these realities impact our understanding of our responsibility and identity in this world. Given the rise of various forms of nationalism, populism, and tyranny around the world today, I can think of no message...
The J. Wellington Wimpy crony capitalist policy
“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” was a catchphrase made famous by J. Wellington Wimpy, a character in ic strip Popeye. But it also describes, with slight modification, the attitude of crony panies to American taxpayers: “I’ll begrudgingly pay you in the future for services provided today.” A couple of week’s ago I wrote about the greatest crony capitalist deal in Wisconsin history. The state offered to Foxconn various government-granted privileges, a mix of different types reportedly...
Thoughts on Christians and race-identity issues
Here’s the deal, short and straight to the point, in light of the events in Charlottesville: Christians should not be within ten miles of this race-identity stuff. Something like “white nationalism” cannot be reconciled with the Gospel’s leap across racial and national barriers. I’ve always told students that you can be in favor of your country enforcing its borders, but that you should never be one of those folks yelling to keep the Mexicans out or something along those lines....
Value investing: Restoring ownership and ethics to investment
In today’s global economy, it can be easy to feel like robotic worker bees or petty consumer fleas in a big, blurry economic order. The feeling is understandable. Value creation, even at its largest margins, is increasingly difficult to spot. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, of course. Size, scale, and efficiency all have significant perks. But while we should be wary of the modern to temptation to blindly castigate “big business” only because of its bigness, we should also...

Mark your calendars and register nowfor Acton Institute’s 27th annual dinner on October 18, held at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This year’s annual dinner will feature remarks from Acton Institute president Rev. Robert Sirico and special guest Betsy DeVos, the United States Secretary of Education. DeVos is a Grand Rapids native and a leading innovator and advocate in education. Before her confirmation, DeVos was a member of Acton Institute’s board of directors from 1995 to 2005, and...
A call to reaffirm the rational roots of Western identity
In an article published at the Witherspoon Institute,Samuel Greggargues for the reaffirmation of Western civilization, its roots and its plishments. We need not be “faithful Jews or orthodox Christians to affirm Western civilization’s achievements,” but it is vital that we realize “these faiths’ indispensable role in the growth of Western culture,” he writes. Gregg explains that today there seems to be a trend to disparage the West, evidenced by current terrorism and even by attitudes in the West, “studiously ignoring...
The self-defeating nature of sin taxes
Rev. Ben Johnson, senior editor at the Acton Institute, writes atCapXthat bishopsshould refrain from encouraging sin taxes. Recently in Poland, a letter written by bishop Tadeusz Bronakowski was read aloud in many Catholic churches, stating that the “state has a ‘responsibility’ to pass laws limiting alcohol’s ‘physical and economic availability,’ and to back them up with ‘ruthless enforcement.'” Johnson, however, asks bishops to take a look at historical records regarding sin taxes and reconsider their stance, because past and present...
Brexit’s £1.5 billion boon to charities
In the United States, it is considered scandalous when a partisan public official tries to deny a charity its tax-exempt status. But bination of EU and UK law forces British charities to pay £1.5 billion in taxes to the government every year – something a leading charitable coalition says that Brexit could change. A “clean Brexit,” the group says, could unleash the power of private philanthropy and create tens of thousands of jobs among nonprofits alone. EU regulations do not...
5 facts about the alt-right
A rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia this weekend ended in violence and domestic terrorism, as white nationalist groups clashed with counter-protestors. The Unite the Right rally was intended, as co-promoter Matthew Heimbach explains, to unite the alt-right around the “14 words”: “We must secure the existence of our people and the future for white children’—as our primary motivating factor.” The objectives of the alt-right movement are antithetical to the mission, values, and principles of the Acton Institute and other like-minded...
Entry, exit, and supply curves: Constant costs
Note: This is post #45 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Industries that have a flat supply curve are called “constant cost” industries. An example is domain name registration: to increase the supply of domain names, we must only increase the inputs by a negligible amount. That is why even as the Internet expands so rapidly, says Alex Tabarrok, it still costs only about six or seven dollars to register a new domain name. By showing you how...
