How Much Profit Do You Think Corporations Earn?
“Someday this will all be yours,” I said, waving my hand across the aisles of the Piggly Wiggly. I was trying to ingratiate myself with my boss, the general manager for the biggest grocery store in Clarksville, Texas. He just smirked and shook his head. “For every dollar in sales, how much do you think this stores earns in profit?” At the time I was taking high school economics and considered myself something of a financial savant because I knew...
Pizza, Pluralism, and the Rise of the Conformity Mob
Amidst the hubbub surrounding Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the owners of Memories Pizza, a local family-owned restaurant, have been the first to bear the wrath of the latest conformity mob. We knew e, of course. “They” being fresh off the sport of strong-arming boutique bakeries and shuttering the shop doors of grandmother florists(all in the name of “social justice,” mind you). The outrage is rather predictable these days, and not just on issuesas hot and contentious as this. pany...
Unemployment as Economic-Spiritual Indicator — March 2015 Report
Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities.

Freely He Gave: Cornelis Vonk on Good Friday
In his newly translated primer on the book of Matthew, Reformed pastor Cornelis Vonkwritespowerfully aboutthe monumental moment of Jesus’ death. Summarizing the heart of the Gospel and its profound implications for human freedom, Vonkreminds us of the lasting power of God’sincredible sacrifice. “Death did not e Jesus,” Vonk writes, “for he was so willing to lay down his life himself.” Shortly before dying, Jesus is forsaken by God. This happened when, in addition, an hour-long darkness had spread across the...
How Minimum Wage Laws Are Like Geocentrism
Geocentrism was the belief that the sun, the planets, and all the stars revolve around the Earth. The alternative view—heliocentricism—had been around since the 3 BC but was not taken seriously until the 16th century AD. What seems obvious to us now was a matter of heated debated for almost two thousand years. EconomistDon Boudreaux says theminimum-wage debate in economics is rather like the reverse of this debate that took place centuries ago among astronomers. In astronomy, the standard, mistaken...

Twenty years ago, mainline Protestant denominations supported legislation that protected religious freedoms. Today, those same denominations have decided that advancing the sexual revolution is more important than defending the conscience of their fellow Christians. In an op-ed for the Washington Times, Nicholas G. Hahn III notes how churches that join in sexual-revolution politicking are finding they are preaching to empty pews: This kind of sexual-revolution politicking leaves almost no room for prayer, and offers the faithful little more than what...

Changing The World For Girls One Tree At A Time
In many parts of the world, the deadliest words are, “it’s a girl.” Abortion and infanticide mon when those words are heard. If the girl manages to live, she is considered a burden and/or a slave. One region in India is changing this attitude. Villages like Piplantri in Rajasthan state of India have a story quite different from the more popular, abused and ill-treated ‘India’s daughter’.
