Men without chests
Men without chests
May 21, 2025 4:20 PM

In the spirit of C. S. Lewis’ classic The Abolition of Man ing available online, I pass along this story:

Macho man is an endangered species…fashion industry insiders say.

A study along these lines led by French marketing and style consultants Nelly Rodi was unveiled to Fashion Group International during a seminar Tuesday on future strategy for the fashion industry in Europe.

Asks Pierre Francois Le Louet, the agency’s managing director, “We are watching the birth of a hybrid man. … Why not put on a pink-flowered shirt and try out a partner-swapping club?”

We’re waiting for confirmation whether the study actually examined any men outside the borders of France.

7 reasons you should care about economic liberty
Christians who support the free market often find ourselves accused of worshiping, in the words of the New York Times, “a false idol” – a thought, shared by a disconcerting number of evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics alike. Yet irrefutable proof to the contrary issued from two very different venues and literally echoed all over the world this week. From the unassuming and scholarly halls of Canada’s Fraser Institute on Tuesday came its annual report detailing the state of global...
Cuba’s doctor rebellion: ‘You get tired of being a slave’
“You are trained in Cuba and our education is free. Health care is free, but at what price?You wind up paying for it your whole life.” –Dr. Yaili Jiménez Gutierrez In 2013, the World Health Organization brokered a deal through which Cuba would export doctors to Brazil to serve in its poorest and most remote areas. Yet as Brazil began to reap the benefits of improved care and decreased mortality rates, the Cuban doctors began to see their home’s regime...
Business Matters: Meaningful Work in the Modern Age
Like everything else in 2018, business has an emotional and often polarizing effect in our society. There are, of course, legitimate stories of business behaving badly. One high-profile example: the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica debacle that thrust the social media giant into the spotlight with a data breach affecting 87 million users. Cronyism remains alive and well, as witnessed by the Foxconn deal in Wisconsin. Cities are clamoring to win the coveted second headquarters location for Amazon, offering corporate welfare...
Explainer: What you should know about the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)

The new trilateral trade agreement is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). When does it take effect? Before it can take effect, leaders from each of the three countries must sign it and get it approved by their nation’s legislatures. Because this process is expected to take several months, the main provisions of USMCA...

They failed to heed the most basic rule of investing:Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Tabarrok explains why diversification is essential...
C.S. Lewis on the necessity of chivalry
There are few concepts today more dismissed—and yet more necessary—than chivalry. During the Middle Ages chivalry was a moral system bined a warrior ethos, knightly piety, and courtly manners. As C.S. Lewis writes in “The Necessity of Chivalry“—my favorite essay of his—the medieval ideal brought together fierceness and meekness, “two things which have no natural tendency to gravitate towards one another.” “It brought them together for that very reason,” says Lewis. “It taught humility and forbearance to the great warrior...

Walmart removes hammer-and-sickle merchandise
After backlash from across the globe, Walmart has stopped selling items bearing the hammer-and-sickle insignia of the Soviet Union. This followed strongly worded letters from Baltic leaders and a U.S. educational effort largely spearheaded by Mari-Ann Kelam through the Acton Institute. The controversy burst into public consciousness when Kelam wrote an Acton Commentary titled, “Walmart’s T-shirt homage to mass murder,” published on September 5. A number of news outlets picked up the story, both in print and on radio. Lithuania’s...

The failure of ‘good intentions’ in America’s entitlement state
Amid the flurry of anti-poverty activism gone wrong, we are routinely reminded thatgood intentions aren’t enough. Although the motives of our hearts often serve as fuel for positive transformation, our corresponding efforts also require reason, wisdom, discernment, and a healthy recognition of real-world ripple effects and constraints. In public policy, we see an unfortunate mix of good intentions and unintended harm across a range of issues, from disaster relief to foreign aid to healthcare policy and beyond. At present, however,...
