Acton podcast
Oct 30, 2024 3:26 AM

Acton Institute audio files are now available via a “podcast.”

A podcast is similar to an RSS feed (in fact it is an RSS feed) but the intention is to describe audio files. These files are read by a podcast aggregator which will automatically download the audio files associated with the podcast and allow you to listen to them on puter. Many aggregators will also automatically transfer the downloaded files to the music library on puter and even to your iPod – thus the name “podcast.”

All new files uploaded to the Acton website will be podcasted.

The Acton podcast can be found here.

We Coddle Teens By Not Holding Them Accountable For Their Actions
In the book A Conflict Of Visions, Thomas Sowell explains that progressives look for the cause of crime because they believe human beings to be essentially good and not prone to self-interest or moral failings. For progressives, “It is hard to understand how anyone mit a terrible crime without some special cause at work, if only blindness,” observes Sowell. Progressives “see human nature as itself adverse to crime, and society as undermining this natural aversion through its own injustices, insensitivities,...
Obama’s Remarks At National Prayer Breakfast
The National Prayer Breakfast, a D.C.-event going back to 1953, was held this morning. The keynote was USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, and President Obama added remarks. Obama chose to focus on religious freedom, calling it a matter of “national security,” menting that he was looking forward to his trip to the Vatican next month to meet with Pope Francis. Obama also said, Yet even as our faith sustains us, it’s also clear that around the world freedom of religion is...
Obamacare and the Laffer Curve Napkin
During a meeting in a restaurant with two officials from the Ford Administration — Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld — a young economist sketched a curve on a napkin to illustrate an argument he was making. Arthur Laffer was explaining to the policymakers the concept of taxable e elasticity—i.e., taxable e will change in response to changes in the rate of taxation. By 1974, the idea was already ancient. Ibn Khaldun, a 14th century Muslim philosopher, wrote in his work...
Why Natural Law Arguments Are Necessary
A few weeks ago I asked why natural law arguments more persuasive. Natural law advocates intend for such argument to persuade both believers and non-believers, so how do they account for the relative ineffectualness of such arguments? Why don’t more people find them to be persuasive? In response to my question (as well as questions and criticisms from others), Sherif Girgis proffered a defense and explanation: Yes. Over the last few years, my coauthors and I have heard from many...
The CBO Report on the ACA: Between Right and Left
A recent report from the CBO contains an appendix detailing updated estimates of the labor market effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Pundits for and against the ACA have wasted no time in putting their own particular spin on the projections.
