Unemployment as economic-spiritual indicator — January 2017 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.

Zacchaeus, mob mentality, and the entrepreneur
Watching the unfolding violence and chaos at UC-Berkeley last night, I could not help but think of two people: August Landmesser and Zacchaeus, the reformed tax collector from the Gospel of St. Luke. In my branch of the Orthodox Christian Church, the story of Zaccheus (St. Luke 19:1-10) was read on Sunday as the first of several weeks in preparation for Lent. The tax collector, too short to see over the crowd, climbed up a ore [sic] tree in order...
Rev. Sirico: Ordered liberty depends on virtue
In a new article for theLakeland Ledger, Rev.Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, explains why ordered liberty depends on virtue: What I have learned in these intervening decades is that it’s not enough simply to be a “free” society. It’s equally important to strive toward being a “virtuous” society as well. The Irish statesman Edmund Burke summed this idea up in the phrase “ordered liberty,” a concept incorporated in that patriotic hymn that calls for America to...
State and society each has its own sphere
“The question that now demands our full attention is this,” says Abraham Kuyper in this week’s Acton Commentary, “What attitude should Christians adopt in the face of the socialist movement?” And then it is beyond question that we too should be moved to passion by the disorder of our society and the great distress that has resulted from it. We may not, like the priest and the Levite, pass by the exhausted traveler who lies bleeding from his wounds, but...

Vocation vs. occupation: 4 callings in the Christian life
Is there a difference between “vocation” and “occupation”? The term es from the Latin, “vocare” – to call or receive a call. For almost two millennia in munities and cultures, vocation referred to a religious calling: a monastic order, missionary work or parish labor. During the medieval era, vocation expanded beyond the clerical and embraced medicine (the doctor), the law (the attorney) and teaching (the professor/teacher). Other occupations were respected, but not given the same status. The Reformation rekindled the...

In a new 19-minute documentary, Johan Norberg revisits Friedman’s famous episode on trade, applying its core arguments to our modern economic context and debate, summarizing the key arguments with refreshing concision.
