The New and Improved AU Online
The New and Improved AU Online
Feb 11, 2026 8:44 AM

In case you haven’t already heard the rumor, allow me to fill you in: AU Online has an awesome, newly revamped website and digital learning platform. AU Online is designed to make the resources and tools of a typical Acton conference available through a university-level, online environment. The AU Online team hopes the new features and functions will make this program your go-to destination for the integration of faithful intentions and sound economic reason.

To kick off the 2012-2013 schedule of online courses, Acton’s director of research, Dr. Samuel Gregg, will present a four-part lecture series, Freedom and Virtue in the Developed World. The first live, online session is scheduled for 6:30pm EDT on October 23.

If you haven’t done so, we encourage you to visit the AU Online website to see for yourself what all of the hype is about! If you have any questions, please contact the AU Online team by email at [email protected].

On an unrelated note, registration for the 2013 Acton University conference opens November 15! Be sure not to miss out on your chance to apply.

How socialism ruined Brazil
The popularity of the Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign revealed how popular socialism is with a large swath of Americans. But how has socialism worked out in other countries? Felipe Moura Brasil, a journalist and columnist for Veja magazine, explains how his country has fared under socialism. ...
In Western countries, what’s the greatest predictor of misery?
A few weeks after leaving the presidency, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a message to the citizens of Maryland that, “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” For many conservatives and libertarians, the best way for government to make us happy is to stay out of our lives as much as possible. But since many Americans believe that government does have a role increasing flourishing, we should...
The worst humanitarian crisis since World War II
The world is facing its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, according to the United Nations. “We stand at a critical point in history. Already at the beginning of the year we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the UN,” UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien recently told the UN’s Security Council. While many countries worldwide face food security crises, with large numbers of people hungry and unable to find enough food, only rarely do the conditions...
Brexit begins an era of free trade and innovation: Theresa May
With the delivery of Theresa May’s letter this afternoon, Brexit has begun. munique – which Sir Tim Barrow personally handed European Council President Donald Tusk – expresses her desire to replace the EU with “deep and special partnership,” or as she said in this afternoon’s speech to Parliament, “a partnership of values.”However, as we have documented, the notion of transatlantic values can stand for anything from religious tolerance to the social welfare state. What sort of partnership does the prime...
Yes, the gender wage gap is still a myth—and a potentially dangerous one
Today is Equal Pay Day, a day set aside to perpetuate the myth of the “gender pay gap,” which claims that, because of gender discrimination, women receive about 22 percent lower pay on average for doing the same work as men. The observance was started in 1996 by the National Committee on Pay Equity, and yet after 21 years and hundreds of articles debunking the claim, the idea that gender pay gap is a real problem is a myth that...
The minimum wage as a price floor
Note: This is post #27 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Minimum wages are a type of price floor, and as with all prices floors, when prices are kept artificially high they can lead to several consequences that hurt the consumer. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok shows how price floors create surpluses (such as a surplus in labor, or unemployment) as well as deadweight loss. (If you find the pace of the videos too...
The ‘Great Repeal Bill’ and the long shadow of EU law
Millions had assumed that Brexit meant that, in the words of Prime Minister Theresa May,“our laws will be made in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast.” But the government has announced that it will continue to be bound by thousands of EU regulations, passed in Brussels, for the foreseeable future. The revelation is part of the government white paperon the ing“Great Repeal Bill.” It will revoke the European Communities Act of 1972,the legislation that maintains the UK’s membership in the EU....
Hillbilly experts: Economic optimism from Appalachia
It seems like every day we hear the siren calls of ing end of jobs. A new report out of thePwCsays that 38% of all jobs in America are at risk of being automated. This mostly affects jobs that require little to no education, which could include entire industries, such as truck driving, storage, or food service. We are told that the trade-off will be “worth it.” Millions of jobs will be destroyed. Uneducated workers, the very ones whose jobs...

Why protectionism harms human dignity
From an economic perspective, protectionism is one of the most foolish policies a country can adopt. It not only hurts the nation’s economy, but makes individual households poorer. Why then do so many people who are aware of this reality still support protectionist policies? One reason is because they (wrongly) believe that protectionism actually protects American jobs. They also believe (rightly) that the loss of employment has social and moral implications that are caused by a loss of dignity. Economist...
