Giving thanks for the miracle of the marketplace
Families across the country are aboutto celebrate Thanksgiving, expressing gratitude for God’s overwhelming grace and abundance. And yet even as we offer thanks to God for his provision — materially, socially, spiritually, or otherwise — how often do we pause and reflect on the freedoms and channels that God uses in the process? Will we remember that the very foods we are sure to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day required a great deal of investment, cultivation, and risk-taking? Will we reflect...
Who did Democrats forget?
In this week’s Acton Commentary I weigh in with some reflections on the US presidential results: “Naming, Blaming, and Lessons Learned from the 2016 Election.” I focus on much of the reaction on the Democratic side, which has understandably had some soul-searching to do. The gist of my argument is that “the New Left forgot the Old Left and got left out this election cycle.” For further elaborations on this theme, I mend the following: “The Real Forgotten Man Of...
Are there economic implications in the Creation story?
“In our search for economic principles in the Bible, we need to begin with the story of Creation found in the first two chapters of Genesis,” says Hugh Whelchel. “Here we see God’s normative intentions for life. We see life as ‘the way it ought to be.’ Man is free from sin, living out his high calling as God’s vice regent in a creation that is ‘very good.’” Whelchel lists three major economic principles laid out in Creation, the first...

Satellite images and testimonies from those who have fled the oppressive regime of Kim Jong-un are demonstrating the power of markets. A new report from Hyung-Jin Kim looks at this phenomenon in the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea. These markets, jangamadangs, are primarily supplied with goods smuggled from China or South...
Who pays the tax?
Note: This is the eleventhpost in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Who bears the burden of a tax, the buyer or the seller? Or what about the health insurance mandate in Obamacare—does the employer or the worker pay the tax? In this video, Marginal Revolution University examines these questions and explains why the more elastic side of the market tends to pay a smaller share of a tax. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow,...
This Thanksgiving, be thankful for the low cost of food
While it may not seem like it when you’re at the supermarket checkout, Americans benefit tremendously from relatively low food prices. Consider the typical Thanksgiving feast. According to an informal price survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), the average cost of this year’s Thanksgiving meal for ten people is $49.87—less than $5 per person. The AFBF survey shopping list includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a veggie tray, pumpkin pie with whipped...
Samuel Gregg: Economic nationalism will not make America great
In a new article at The Stream, Acton Director of Research Samuel Gregg offersgood reasons why a move toward economic nationalism is not in the best interest of America. He starts with this: Whatever the motivations for such policies, their costs vastly outweigh their benefits. In the first place, protectionism discourages American businesses and workers from focusing on producing those goods and services where they enjoy parative advantage vis-à-vis other nations. Not only does this undermine productivity, efficiency, and petitiveness...
