　　James 4:1-3 In-Context

　　1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?

　　2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.

　　3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

　　4 You adulterous people,An allusion to covenant unfaithfulness; see Hosea 3:1. don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

　　5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in usOr "that the spirit he caused to dwell in us envies intensely;" or "that the Spirit he caused to dwell in us longs jealously" ?

Review of ‘Defending the Free Market’ at the Library of Law and Liberty
Dr. James E. Bruce, assistant professor of philosophy at John Brown University, has a review of Rev. Robert Sirico’s new book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy, on the Library of Law and Liberty website. Bruce’s review offers an insightful primer to the book and does not lack for praise: Sirico at one point says that a pliment is “being told that I have put into words what someone has thought for a long time...
New Journal of Markets & Morality Website
Today marks the official launch of the new and improved website for the Journal of Markets & Morality. In addition to the new design, we also have included a search feature whereby anyone who wants can search back issues for keywords, authors, names, and so on.

Rev. Sirico: There is no ‘social justice’ without economic freedom
On , Rev. Robert A. Sirico looks at the recent anti-capitalism, anti-NATO protests in Chicago: In countless debates and conversations with modern proponents of social justice, I have noticed that they are less interested in justice than in material equality. They borrow the language of justice and mon good but have either forgotten or rejected the classical meanings of those terms. In the classical tradition of reflection on justice (especially seen in Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, and their intellectual descendants)...

Sandel’s Flawed Philosophy
Rev. Sirico’s new book is not the only recent entry on the topic of markets and morality (though paring reviews, it may be the best). Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel also examines the subject in What Money Can’t Buy. Unlike his wildly overpraised Justice, though, Sandel’s latest work is getting mixed reviews—even from those who you’d expect to sing his praises. For instance, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, seems to believe that Sandel missed an opportunity to provide a stronger...
Memorial Day and the Right to Be Wrong
Last week I wondered about the student protests here in Quebec and the logic of the welfare state. In some conversations on these topics, I was challenged to consider the social meaning of phenomena like this (e.g. public protests of one kind or another). I’ll have some more to say about that later this week, I think, but for now, I think that it is true that from a certain point of view, regardless of the merits of an individual...
Should You Need the Government’s Permission to Work?
Getting the government’s permission to work—occupational licensing—hurts both consumers and entrepreneurs. That’s the conclusion of two new reports, one a study conducted by the Institute for Justice and the other a survey by the Kauffman Foundation and . As the reports note, in the 1950s, only one in 20 U.S. workers needed government permission to pursue their chosen occupation. Today, it is closer to one in three. Yet research to date provides little evidence that licensing protects public health and...
