Radio Free Acton: Daniel Garza on Latinos and the liberty movement
Jun 29, 2026 3:49 PM

Daniel Garza at the Acton Lecture Series – November 17, 2016

On this edition of Radio Free Acton, we speak with Daniel Garza, Executive Director of The LIBREInitiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the principles and values of economic freedom within the munity.

According to political conventional wisdom, the munity is a natural constituency of progressive politicians and part of an emerging progressive permanent majority in the United States. Garza counters this narrative by noting the fact that conservative values are well represented in the munity, and that the success of progressives in attracting Latino votes can at least in part be attributed to a failure to municate the principles of free markets and individual liberty to Latino voters.

An Italian view of America’s election results: Berlusconi reincarnate, financial penance
Yesterday, Hillary’s concessionand Donald’s victory speeches would be made only one mile apart at the Midtown Hilton at the Javits Center in New York City. As the night wore on, the Clinton party quickly souredin the ballroom while the Trump camp began uncorking the bubbly. The opposing sentiments set the two camps a world apart. Clinton’s presidential campaign director John Podesta, with aplomb, delivered unwanted news: for now the Democrats’ dream had died and all those sobbing at the Javits...
How did we get here?
In today’s Acton Commentary, I offer a brief reflection on the results of Election Day in the United States, “Politics, Character, and Competition.” I’ve heard a lot of wisdom and a lot of foolishness in the hours since the final results were announced. The initial speeches have now been made, and we are in that in-between time, the pause of sorts between the election and the inauguration of a new president. It’s a good chance to take a breath and...
Musings from Nobel Laureate Vernon L. Smith
UPDATE: The full interview is now available online. ### In June, Nobel economist Vernon L. Smith gave an Acton University speech titled “Faith and the Compatibility of Science and Religion.” While he was in Grand Rapids, he sat down with Victor V. Claar and went into some of the specifics of his lecture, as well as his vast experience in economics, including experimental economics. Their conversation was recorded as the cover feature for the Fall issue of Religion & Liberty....
Diverse voters, deep passions: what 2016 exit polls tell us
As, no doubt, many readers are getting flooded on social media with think pieces and hot takes (not to mention apocalyptic worry or celebration), the point of this post is simply to look at what the data seems to indicate about those who voted for President-elect Donald Trump and his opponent, Sec. Hillary Clinton. I’ll add a few thoughts at the end, but I am mostly just fascinated with the result, which shows more diverse support for each candidate than...
Explanation: What happens between Election Day and Inauguration Day?
The peaceful transition of power from one chief executive to another is one of the most enduring and cherished legacies of the American government. But it’s also plicated process. There is a lot that has to happened in the 75 days between Election Day and Inauguration Day. Here is a brief outline of some of the steps that have to be taken in the transition from President Obama to President Trump. November 9 Presidential campaigns usually create a transition team...
Trump’s first ‘Hundred Day’ economic plan
In a radio address on July 24, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the 100-day session of the 73rd United States Congress between March 9 and June 17, a session that produced a record-breaking volume of new laws. Despite the fact that the 100 days referred to a legislative session and not the beginning of a presidency, the term has e a metric for what a new president can plish and how effective they will be during their term....
Review: ‘NIV Faith and Work Bible’ uncovers God’s story for stewardship
The church has recently awakened with renewed interest in the intersection of faith and work, leading to a widespread movement in congregations and seminaries and a constant flow of books, sermons, and other resources (including a hearty bunch from the Acton Institute). In a new NIV Faith and Work Bible from Zondervan, we gain another valuable tool for expanding our economic imaginations, weaving a rich theology of work more closely with the Biblical text. Edited by David H. Kim, Executive...
Virtuous envy?
Edward Feser, with a nod to Thomas Aquinas, discusses whether there might be such a thing as virtuous Schadenfreude. As Feser puts it, “On the one hand, the suffering of a person is not as such something to rejoice in, for suffering, considered just by itself, is an evil…. However, there can be something ‘annexed’ to the suffering which is a cause for rejoicing.” My collaborator and friend Victor Claar and I ran up against something like this in our...
What a veteran knows
“Thank you for your service,” they say, as they shake our hands and pat our backs. We smile and thank them for their gratitude and try to think of something else to talk about. These encounters with strangers happen from time to time, though always on Veteran’s Day. It’s the one time we can count on civilians—a group from which we came but can never fully return—to think about us. On Veteran’s Day, they think of the men and women...
Beware the post-election narratives
In his best-selling book The Black Swan, probabilist Nassim Nicholas Taleb warns against the need for easy narratives to explain the unexpected. Given how unexpected the result of this Tuesday’s election was, it is worth taking some time to review what Taleb calls “the narrative fallacy.” According to Taleb, The narrative fallacy addresses our limited ability to look at sequences of facts without weaving an explanation into them, or, equivalently, forcing a logical link, an arrow of relationship, upon them....
