Mark Perry: ‘The College Textbook Bubble is Starting to Deflate’
The educational cronyism of textbook publisher cartels ing to an end as digital alternatives are on the rise, or so says AEI’s Mark Perry in a recent article. “Hear that hissing sound?” he writes, “It’s the sound of the college textbook bubble starting to deflate. . . . The era of the college textbook cartel and $300 college textbooks is ending.” I have written on this subject in the past for the PowerBlog (here and here), mentioning Perry’s coverage of...
How I Solve the Crisis in Underemployment and Student Loan Debt for Liberal Arts Majors
In his article today Anthony Bradley asks, “When Did College Education Reduce To Making Money?” Our country’s narcissistic materialism has created a neurotic obsession with disparities between the es of individuals resulting in an overall devaluing of the learning goals and es of what colleges exist to plish. There is a major disconnect here. I wonder if this explains why many parents do not want their children studying the humanities in college. While pletely agree with Anthony about what the...

Obamacare’s HHS Mandate Loses Another Round
The HHS contraceptive-abortifacient mandate lost another round last week. “This is a significant victory for protecting the religious beliefs of individuals and corporations,” said Edward White, Senior Counsel of the ACLJ who is representing a family-run business in Illinois. In a 2-1 decision issued Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the court reversed the federal district court’s denial of a motion for a preliminary injunction and remanded the case for the district court to enter...
Feisty Nuns’ Pipeline Battle Cute but Wrong-Headed
There are days when policy conflicts appear to be clear cut. Such is the case with the nuns and monks protesting a proposed pipeline across their Kentucky land. As a property rights advocate, I agree wholeheartedly that the Sisters of Loretto and monks of the Abbey of Gethsemani are well within their rights to protest running a pipeline across their property. I disagree vehemently, however, with the rationales behind the protest – namely the religious’ ill-advised environmental opposition to fossil...
Jordan Ballor in Washington Post on Amazon Sunday Deliveries
On Monday, Amazon announced that it would immediately start offering Sunday deliveries. This new initiative will not only satisfy consumers who do not want to wait all weekend for something to arrive, but it will also give the cash strapped U.S. Postal Service revenue as they will be making the Sunday deliveries. This might be good news for the USPS and impatient consumers, but it effectively makes Sunday another weekday. Cecelia Kang, a reporter for the Washington Post, interviewed Acton...
Fighting A Cold, Fighting For Life
Students For Life, an organization for high school, college and grad students, has produced an undercover video showing two women posing as young teens buying Sudafed and Plan B. Guess which one they were allowed to buy? <![endif]–>Here are mon and infrequent side effects of Sudafed: chronic trouble sleeping, head pain, feeling restless, drowsiness, dizzy, involuntary quivering, loss of skin color, fast heartbeat, feel like throwing up, difficult or painful urination, nervous, feeling weak. Here are the side effects of...
How Can Businesses Fight Human Trafficking?
The Business as Mission movement, writes Elise Hilton in this week’s Acton Commentary, is creating alternative and wholesome sources of e while offering ‘restoration’ for survivors: Human trafficking feeds on the vulnerable, and that includes the poor. Children are especially at risk, as they can be sold by parents into slavery and have little or no education or means of self-support. For the Business as Mission movement, this means intentionally focusing on areas that are economically depressed and unstable. Businesses...
Sports Journalism, Cultural Marxism, and the Miami Dolphins
Class struggle. Racially-charged rhetoric. Anti-capitalist diatribes. Sounds like the lineup to a “Fantasy Diversity” team from a sociology professor at Wellesley College, right? Alas, I’m merely referring tothe controversysurrounding ex-Miami Dolphins players Jonathan Martin (black) and Richie Incognito (white). For those who haven’t been paying attention – and thank your lucky stars that you haven’t – Martin left the team for personal reasons and his fellow offensive lineman Incognito was released by the Dolphins for allegedly being the bully who...
When Did College Education Reduce To Making Money?
Someone should tell university administrators and educators that their primary purpose is to guarantee that graduates will have better es than those who are not fortunate enough to attend college. In addition, colleges and universities are now, it seems, supposed to be places where everyone equally es one of the “Joneses.” In an article titled, “Rethinking the Rise of Inequality“, Eduardo Porter of the New York Times writes that college education is about solving the e disparity problem. Porter opens...
