How to Develop a Christian Mind in Business School
“Why are you going to business school?” my friend asked, with some concern, “It seems like such a waste of your time. Why not study history or philosophy or the Great Books or something you’d enjoy.” It was a good question. I mitting myself to spending two years going to school full-time (while working full-time) to get a degree in a subject—business administration—in which I didn’t feel particularly passionate. But I felt that God was calling me to go to...

Samuel Gregg: United States succumbing to ‘Eurosclerosis?’
In the New York Post, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg looks at “the spread throughout America of economic expectations and arrangements directly at odds with our republic’s founding” and asks what the slow walk to “Europeanization” means for the long term.

In practical terms, that means social-democratic economic policies: the same policies that have turned many Western European nations into a byword...

Dear President Obama: Don’t Live in the Zero-Sum Universe
Zero-sum: It’s thinking that if you have more, I have less. One more baby in a family is one more mouth to feed, and less food for everyone else. One new business opens up on the block, and all the rest of the businesses suffer. The guy in the cubicle next to you gets a raise, and you get nothing, because there’s nothing left. Except that it’s wrong. Lots of people know it, too. P.J. O’Rourke knows it, and he...
The New Colonialism: Renting Wombs
It was once said that the sun never set on the British Empire. The Brits colonized vast areas of the earth, civilizing exotic places with the likes of afternoon tea and cricket.

And now the natural resources are the...
