At his death, Franklin is estimated to have been worth about $67 million. Here are six quotes by Franklin on money, wealth, and virtue: On increasing wealth: The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words—industry and frugality. On...

Image courtesy of Getty Images “Why can’t sane energy policies be developed and effectively implemented without a $30 billion bureaucracy to oversee it?” asks Acton Institute president and co-founder Rev. Robert Sirico in a recent article for The Hill. Sirico notes that under President-elect Donald Trump some overreaching government bureaucracies could be rolled back or even abolished. Most significantly, Sirico calls for an end of the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives: This well-intentioned subsidy obfuscates the nature of religious charities by...
Restoring character: Moral communities as a path to common virtue
“It is the evacuation of depth, stability, and substance of culture where we witness the death of character.” –James Davison Hunter Christians and conservatives have long despaired over the “loss of American values,” decrying the erosion of public virtue and the disintegration of morals. As researchers likeCharles Murray and Robert Putnam have duly confirmed, the fabric munity life and civil society is continuing to fray across America. In Yuval Levin’s latest book, The Fractured Republic, he finds the solution in...
God or man? Whittaker Chambers’ ‘Witness’ at 65
“A former Communist who found spiritual solace in his adopted Quakerism,” says Bruce Edward Walker in this week’s Acton Commentary, “Chambers reduced the dilemma facing modern humanity to a simple dichotomy: God or Man?” Consider: An avowed socialist candidate came close to clinching the presidential nomination in what was once considered the world’s greatest proponent of liberty; the same country is hobbled by an ever-encroaching, state-enforced regulatory apparatus; municipal bankruptcies and state budget crises proliferate, wrought in part by massively...

Specifically, he suggested that a capitalist ideology which is unconcerned about the marginalized has run rampant across the world.

Gregg explains this in his latest for the Stream: “Pope Francis and the Myth of Radical Capitalism.” Gregg lays out...

The great economic problem
Note: This is post #17 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. How does the price of oil affect the price of candy bars? When the price of oil increases, it is of course more expensive to transport goods, like candy bars. But there are other, more subtle ways these two markets are connected says economist Alex Tabarrok. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow, I’d mend watching them at 1.5 to 2 times the speed....
What you should know about the President’s Cabinet
Note: This is the first in a weekly series of explanatory posts on the officials and agencies included in the President’s Cabinet. When Obamacare was signed into law in 2010, the Catholic nuns didn’t expect it would affect their religious liberty. Nor did they suspect that in a few years the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would restrict their freedom of conscience. Yet it was that Cabinet-level government agency that issued a mandate requiring the women to disregard...
10 Quotes for Religious Freedom Day

Each year, the President declares January 16th...
