Radio Free Acton redux: John Stonestreet doesn’t want to talk about sex
Radio Free Acton redux: John Stonestreet doesn’t want to talk about sex
Jul 31, 2026 9:18 PM

On this remastered episode of Radio Free Acton, we revisit an interview we had with John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. We examine the major contributions of Christianity to western culture, try to figure out if there’s a reasonable system of thought that could replace it in our society, and explore a bit of what the secular left has replaced Christianity with. Spoiler alert: it’s sex.

Hollande’s ‘Idol of Egalité’
French President François Hollande has promised a 75% tax rate on those in his country who earn an annual salary above one million euros ($1.24 million). Not surprisingly, this number has struck fear into the hearts and wallets of quite a few of France’s top earners, including some who are contemplating leaving and taking their jobs with them. The New York Times has the story: panies are studying contingency plans to move high-paid executives outside of France, according to consultants,...

Acton Commentary: The Rich Don’t Make Us Poor
The “fixed pie” fallacy in economic thinking, as expressed by writers such as Hilaire Belloc, has served the class warfare crowd well despite lacking any basis in reality. “The historical reality of entrepreneurs gives the lie to two of Belloc’s assumptions: that the wealthy can maintain luxurious living standards by sitting on their wealth, and that capitalism prevents the poor from working their way up the economic ladder,” writes Charles Kaupke in the latest Acton Commentary (published August 8).The full...
Why People Prefer Government to Markets
People do not love markets,” says Pascal Boyer of the International Cognition & Culture Institute, “there is a lot of evidence for that.” Sadly, Boyer is right and I suspect he’s right about the cause too: People do not like markets because people seem not to understand much about market economics. We don’t fully understand this antipathy, Boyer notes, because there hasn’t been much research on folk-economics, a study of “what makes people’s economic modules tick.” But I think Boyer...

Church groups mount relief efforts for Syria
In an interview in Our Sunday Visitor, an official with the Catholic Near East Welfare Association said refugees from Syria into Lebanon are increasing “tremendously” because of the military conflict. Issam Bishara, vice president of the Pontifical Mission and regional director for Lebanon and Syria, told OSV about the “perilous situation in Syria and how the local and global Catholic Church is responding.” OSV: What has life been like for local Christians in Syria?

Get an MBA, Save the World
If you want to work in international development, says Charles Kenny, go work for a big, bad pany: Kids today — they just want to save the world. But there is more than one way to make the planet a better place. Here’s another option: Get an MBA and go work for a big, bad pany.
