Benjamin Franklin’s advice on the Chicago schools strike
Their last remaining dispute in the Chicago schools strike could be resolved if both sides understood a basic economic concept taught by one of the nation’s Founding Fathers. Although the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union announced a tentative agreement Wednesday evening, the Second City’s 300,000-plus students still began their eleventh day outside the classroom Thursday, because the CTU added a new demand Wednesday night. They want the city to pay union members for every day they went...
Lord Acton on true liberalism
Early last month there was a great debate over the question “What is Liberalism?” on the Free Thoughts Podcast. The debate was between Helena Rosenblatt, professor of history at City University of New York and Daniel Klein, professor of economics at George Mason University. Klein’s work has been mentioned on the PowerBlog before and I referenced his insightful scholarship in my talk, “Lord Acton, Liberty, Conscience, and the Social Order” at this year’s Acton University. Rosenblatt’s recent book, The Lost...
Thomistic Institute Aquinas 101
The Thomistic Institute has a new video series introducing the work of St. Thomas Aquinas called Aquinas 101. The videos are well done, concise, and clear, and if you are looking for an introduction to St. Thomas, this is a good place to start. I started showing it to my older children, and they liked it. The videos begin with an introduction to Aquinas and address some of his key ideas. People often feel daunted by the idea of reading...
Some reading for Reformation Day
Here is a by no means exhaustive prehensive but simply occasional set of links to some reading from yours truly that might be of interest to readers of the PowerBlog this Reformation Day… Essays: “The further reformation of all of life,” Acton Commentary, October 31, 2017. “The Secularization of Vocation,” Public Discourse, October 30, 2017. “The Church’s Social Witness and the Further Work of the Reformation,” Journal of Christian Legal Thought 5, no. 2 (Fall 2015): 11-16. “Doing much good...
Persecution in North Korea: Learning from Pastor Han’s faithful witness
Struggling under the weight munism, North Korea is increasingly known as a land of poverty and hardship, ranked last among nations when es to economic freedom and religious liberty. What’s less discussed, however, is the importance of each of those features, taken together. Economic and religious life are closely connected, making the preservation of both absolutely essential if society is to flourish. In a new short film from Voice of the Martyrs, we get a small glimpse of this reality...
Acton Line podcast: The conversion of Kanye West; What Wilhelm Röpke has to say about our digital age
In just the first week of the release of Kanye West’s new explicitly Christian record “Jesus is King,” it’s outsold his previous album “Ye,” projected to sell 225-275k copies. In addition ments regarding his conversion to Christianity, he’s dominated cultural conversation with increasingly conservative opinions, addressing everything from the importance munities, to local churches and even in a recent interview, condemning abortion. Andrew T. Walker from es on to the show to break down reactions to Kanye’s conversion, new artistic...
Bastion Magazine: Edmund Burke tempers libertarian individualism
I just was introduced to Bastion Magazine , founded by a group of young libertarians who have realized that in order to have a limited state, we also need strong civil and cultural institutions and especially strong families. I have only skimmed the site, but it looks well done. As one of the founders, C. Jay Engel, the founder and publisher explained to me, they began to realize that insights from thinkers like Edmund Burke and Robert Nisbet about civil...
Alejandro Chafuen in Forbes: State-owned enterprises and trade
Alejandro Chafuen, Acton’s Managing Director, International, published a piece in Forbes yesterday on the place of state-owned enterprises in international trade. The question also extends to industries that, even if not owned by the state, are significantly influenced by government interests, regulation, and so on. Oil is a prime example of this, but there are many other instances, more recently including the data and tech industry. I have witnessed many harsh debates during off-the-record meetings between policy leaders and advocates...
Commemorating two genocides: Armenian and Communist
Halloween may be fast upon us, but October 29 and 30 have marked the memorations of the year. In the last two days, the world has belatedly remembered the genocide of Armenian Christians and the brutal repression of all dissidents by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Last night, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 296, a bill “recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide, the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923.” (Only...
Chile in flames
It’s been a good week for the left throughout Latin America. In Columbia, center-left and left-wing parties did well in regional election. Argentina also took a left-turn with a left-wing Peronist easily winning the presidency, and bringing the former president Cristina Kirchner back to office as Vice-President. In Bolivia, long-serving left-populist president Evo Morales looks as if he is going to get away with stealing an election. Events in Chile are also a cause for concern. What started as a...
