Front Porch Economy: The Power of Simplicity
The global economy is ever-growing in plexity and interconnectedness, leading to a range of positive and transformative effects. Yet even as this web of human relationships expands and intensifies, many of the latest innovations are prodding us back to the simple and personal. Whether we look to the various offspring of the “sharing economy” (e.g. Uber, Airbnb) or the range of bottom-up trading tools and crowdfunding platforms (Craigslist, Kickstarter), we see an eager appetite for simple and direct exchange. In...
Russell Kirk: Conservative, Humanist, Christian
Reading Bradley J. Birzer’s Russell Kirk, one might quibble with the subtitle: An American Conservative, but only because the term “conservative” has been worried like a rag doll in the maw of a Doberman puppy since Kirk mitted ink to paper on the conservative matter nearly 75 years ago. In the context of his times and eventual legacy, “conservative” plete sense since Kirk’s genius for connecting the dots of political philosophy and history exploded fully formed in 1953 with his...
5 Facts About Christian Persecution
Sunday is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, an annual day to put special emphasis on praying for the persecuted Church. In preparation for the observance, here are five facts you should know about Christian persecution around the globe: 1. Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide. An average of 180 Christians around the world are killed each month for their faith. 2. According to the U.S. Department of State, in more than 60 countries Christians...
Radio Free Acton: Jay Nordlinger On The Children of Monsters
Jay Nordlinger speaks at the Acton Lecture Series This week on Radio Free Acton, National Review Senior Editor Jay Nordlinger joins the podcast to talk about his latest book,Children of Monsters: An Inquiry Into the Sons and Daughters of Dictators, a book I enjoyed enough to create the “Radio Free Acton 5 Star Award of Excellence” in order to have an award to bestow upon it. Nordlinger joined us here at Acton on October 29 to deliver an Acton Lecture...
Pope Francis and Free Economy in the Evangelii Gaudium
1. Introduction Francis’ Apostolic ExhortationEvangelii Gaudium[1](EG) is not a text on economy: it is a fine and substantial magisterial reflection about the topic of evangelization in our days, a most extensive subject whose analysis exceeds the humble purposes of this article, and must await a later occasion. However, Francis’ diagnosis of current circumstances holds some judgments on economic issues that have once again caused admiration and adhesion among free market critics, as well as concern or outright rejection among free...
China Ends One-Child Policy, Still Limiting Births
The BBC reported today that China is ending its one-child policy, providing the following overview: Introduced in 1979, the policy meant that many Chinese citizens – around a third, China claimed in 2007 – could not have a second child without incurring a fineIn rural areas, families were allowed to have two children if the first was a girlOther exceptions included ethnic minorities and – since 2013 – couples where at least one was a single childCampaigners say the policy...
Shareholder Activists’ Scare Tactics
Global warming alarmists at the U.S. Department of Energy are seeking to harsh Halloween’s mellow this year. The DOE’s website this week features stories on costuming children as solar panels and methane emissions from rotting jack-o’-lanterns contributing to climate change. I’m not kidding. It seems there’s no limit to the scarifying lengths some will go in their predictions for climate catastrophe. For example, Ceres – an organization that “mobilizes a powerful network of panies and public interest groups to accelerate...
Abraham Kuyper’s Public Theology Today
Yesterday was Abraham Kuyper’s birthday, and tomorrow is Reformation Day, so it seems appropriate to note once again in this space that we have launched a new 12 volume series of Kuyper’s works. The title of the series is Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology, and the goal is to bring more of the primary source materials from this virtuoso theologian and statesman into circulation in the Anglophone world. Mel Flikkema and I are serving as general editors of...
Green America’s War on Restaurants
The network of leftist shareholder activism plex and wide-ranging. In the name of progressive causes, they panies to forfeit profitability, reduce investment returns, raise costs to customers and threaten both actual and potential jobs. It’s heartbreaking that religious shareholder groups not only willingly but passionately lend their support to secular causes promoted by US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment and Ceres. As I have noted previously, both organizations count religious shareholder groups among their respective membership rosters...
Review: ‘No Fear Allowed’
Fear is inevitable. We can either let it stop us in our tracks or use it as “feedback” that we have to do something to move forward. That’s the message in Laura Herring’s new book No Fear Allowed: A Story of Guts, Perseverance, & Making an Impact (Morgan James Publishing, 2015). It’s an inspiring read for entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and “intrapreneurs” (employees with an entrepreneurial mindset) who know they’d like to make their mark in the world through business. Laura’s...
