New issue of the Journal of Markets & Morality (Vol. 22, No. 2)
Mar 19, 2026 9:23 PM

The newest issue of the Journal of Markets & Morality is now live on our website here and in the mail to subscribers.

This issue includes an excellent lineup of scholarly articles ranging from Christian education, to private property in the early Church, to sixteenth-century political philosophy, to environmentalism, to the crisis of the public square.

As a special feature, it also contains the papers from a symposium on the Dominican contribution to liberty, with contributions from Catherine Joseph Droste, Martin Rhonheimer, Jay W. Richards, and Samuel Gregg.

Additionally, this issue also includes another installment of our Scholia series: early modern texts on economics, ethics, or law appearing in English for the first time. The particular work featured in this issue is “On Interest and Usury” by Johann Gerhard, a Protestant scholastic theologian of the early seventeenth century.

Last, we once again have a wide collection of academic book reviews.

As always, the issue’s editorial is open access. So, if you want to read a small sample of the journal, I mend executive editor Kevin Schmiesing’s editorial “The War of Ideas” here.

If you are interested in subscribing to the Journal of Markets & Morality, directions for how to sign up, as well as our subscription prices, can be found here.

What Does Dr. Ben Carson Prescribe For America?
In 2012, Dr. Ben Carson, former head of pediatric surgery at John Hopkins Hospital, rose to media attention at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. During that speech, he told the audience, including President and Mrs. Obama, that he didn’t mean to offend anyone, but he wasn’t going to be “politically correct,” either. Since then, Dr. Carson has been a regular contributor to The Daily Caller. He recently spoke in Sikeston, Missouri, and gave his prescription for what ails...
A Lesson in Work Ethics from Mike Rowe
“The definition of a good job, the meaning of work,” says Mike Rowe, Acton’s favorite blue-collar philosopher of work, “[is] the willingness to see what a lot of people might call a bad job and only see an opportunity.” Rowe said jobs have been available since 2003, but Americans aren’t defining them as “good.” Meanwhile, employers are desperate for people willing to learn a “useful skill” and workhard.In a TED talk in 2008, Rowe also talkedabout the nature of hard...
And Here I Thought Bullying Was Wrong: Gary Peters Bullies Cancer Patient, TV Stations
The Department of Health and Human Services, under the direction of Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration, has a website aimed at stopping bullies: StopBullying.gov. While it has pages for parents, kids, educators and munity members, it apparently needs to add a page for politicians. Michigan resident Julie Boonstra is currently featured in a mercial funded by Americans for Prosperity. Boonstra suffers from leukemia, and lost her health insurance due to the Affordable Care Act. She calls out Democratic Senate...
Ukrainian Bishop: Government Must Respect Human Dignity, Sanctity of Life
This weekend on Ancient Faith Radio, host Kevin Allen interviewed Metropolitan Antony, primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the United States about the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine. The bishop offered very good insights into the religious, cultural and political factors at play now in the Ukraine, carefully pointing out that the situation is very fluid and subject to change almost by the hour. Allen asked the bishop what role the Orthodox and Greek-Catholic churches should play in this...
Why You Shouldn’t Support Both Amnesty and Minimum Wage Increases
People face tradeoffs. To get one thing that we like, we usually have to give up another thing that we like. That principle is one of the most basic in economics — and yet the most frequently ignored when es to public policy. A prime example is the tradeoff that is required on two frequently debated political issues: immigration reform and minimum wage laws. Many of the same people who support increasing the minimum wage also support increased immigration and...
Justice Scalia: Good Government Needs Religion
Speaking on February 14 at a Chicago event celebrating George Washington’s Birthday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s headline remark was his insistence that Chicago-style pizza is “not pizza.” But Scalia focused heavily on the abysmal state of civic education, which not surprisingly, includes law students as well. Over at the Liberty Law Blog, Josh Blackman, offers some excellent highlights of Scalia’s words from the event. On the relationship between religion and good government, Scalia declared: Let me make clear...
Radio Free Acton: Examining the Ukrainian Crisis
In this edition of Radio Free Acton, Paul Edwards joins our crew to host a discussion of the crisis in the Ukraine, with perspective provided by Acton Director of Research Samuel Gregg, Director of Communications John Couretas, and with an insider’s perspective of current events from an evangelical Christian currently residing near Kiev. (Our friend from Kiev remains anonymous in order to ensure his safety and security.) Paul and his guests discuss the geopolitical context of the crisis, the different...
Orthodoxy and Ordoliberalism
Today at Red River Orthodox, I offer a brief introduction to the liberal tradition for Orthodox Christians living in the West: Liberalism, historically, is a broad intellectual tradition including a large and disparate group of thinkers. The epistemological differences between John Locke, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant do not stop them all from being liberals. In economics the range extends from Friedrich Hayek to John Maynard Keynes. In political philosophy, from John Rawls to Robert Nozick. For that matter, both...
UK Airports To Have Anti-Trafficking Teams
is reporting that, beginning April 1, specially trained teams will be working in UK airports to help stem the tide of human trafficking victims. The British government says it want to make sure that “there is ‘no easy route into the UK for traffickers.'” Home Office minister Karen Bradley said Border Force officers could be the ‘first authority figure in the UK to have contact with a potential victim of modern slavery.’ ‘Their role is vital in identifying and protecting...
Can We Equate Sexuality With Race?
At The Gospel Coalition, Joe Carter (Senior Editor for the Acton Institute) does some speculating on whether or not “gay is the new black.” That is, can we equate sexual behavior and race when we are discussing questions about equality, marriage, adoption, and discrimination? By now, most of us are familiar with the issues surrounding Christian business owners (such as bakers and photographers) who have declined to do business for a homosexual wedding. Our nation is currently struggling with whether...
