Schools are controlled by the government, but they serve munities with niche needs, says Paul T. Hill, founder of the Center on Reinventing Public Education. Is there a way that education be publicly funded but privately managed? Public education struggles with two conflicting facts.

Samuel Gregg — Benedict XVI: God’s Revolutionary
The pope turns 85 today. On the website of Crisis Magazine, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg looks at this most prominent of “status-quo challengers.” While regularly derided by his critics as “decrepit” and “out-of-touch,” Benedict XVI continues to do what he’s done since his election as pope seven years ago: which is to shake up not just the Catholic Church but also the world it’s called upon to evangelize. His means of doing so doesn’t involve “occupying” anything. Instead, it...

You stress the importance of changes in laws and legal structure as the catalyst for growth. Why are legal institutions so important? Robert Cooter: Ineffective law inhibits growth by forcing too much dealing...
U.S. Appeals Court Opinion Criticizes Supreme Court Precedents That Undermine Economic Freedom
Legal scholar Orin Kerr provides excerpts from the concurring opinion today in Hettinga v. United States, in which Judge Janice Rogers Brown (joined by Judge Sentelle) argues that the Supreme Court should overturn its rational basis caselaw in the economic area and return to a Lochner-era regime of judicial scrutiny for economic regulations: The practical effect of rational basis review of economic regulation is the absence of any check on the group interests that all too often control the democratic...

What Sam Spade Can Teach Social Entrepreneurs
The noir heroes like Sam Spade in “The Maltese Falcon” served as models for a generation of Americans, says David Brooks. The new generation of apolitical social entrepreneurs could learn from them too: . . .[T]he prevailing service religion underestimates the problem of disorder. Many of the activists talk as if the world can be healed if we could only insert more passion and resources into it. History is not kind to this assumption. Most poverty and suffering — whether...
