Global cooperation does not imply global governance
Acton’s Director of Research, Samuel Gregg, recently addressed the myth of national sovereignty being a “relic of the past” and global governance being the singular solution for the West to move forward. In a new article for Public Discourse, he calls out recent reactions to global governance, namely Brexit, as long over-due and something to be expected in opposition to global governance that violates national sovereignty: Twenty sixteen was not a happy year for globalism. In different ways, Donald Trump’s...

For example, it was primarily opposition by the Freedom Caucus (about 40 members) that stopped the Republican healthcare proposal, the American Health Care Act (AHCA), from being voted on. What is a congressional caucus? A caucus is a faction...
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.

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...
