4 charts to explain poverty in America
The U.S. Census Bureau released its official poverty rate on Tuesday – and the news on poverty, e, and unemployment is encouraging. Here are four charts that help explain the information. Chart 1: Poverty declined in 2018 to pre-Great Recession levels “In 2018, for the first time in 11 years, the official poverty rate was significantly lower than 2007, the year before the most recent recession,” the Census Bureau announced today. A total of 1.4 million Americans moved out of...
‘Witchcraft is the tool of the oppressed class’
On Monday, a left-wing website decided to give socialists a new tool to use in their war against the free market: witchcraft, spells, and hexes. The Real News Network – whichbillsitself as a source of “verifiable, fact-based journalism” that presents “effective solutions and models for change” – ran as its lead story “Witchcraft, Anarchy and the Rise of LeftTube.” The Baltimore-basedReal Newsoperation regularly interviews thoughtful, if extreme, leftists. But today the online network hosted a 23-minute discussion with “Angie Speaks,”...
Argentina returns to its sad economic past
Back in 2015, Mauricio Macri became president of Argentina. He inherited an economy in ruins and a society teetering on the edge of despair after 12 years rule by Peronist populists: first President Nestor Kirchner followed by his wife, Cristina. Visiting Argentina just after Macri’s election, I was struck by how many Argentines believed that Macri represented a chance for real change. One Buenos Aires politician told me that she believed that Argentina now had a proper opportunity—perhaps, she said,...
Four caveats about the Official Poverty Measure
The U.S. Census Bureau released the official poverty measure (OPM) yesterday. Although the numbers were encouraging, there are at least four caveats that everyone who reads these statistics should keep in mind. Without making these adjustments, we may have an inaccurate picture of poverty in the U.S. 1. The OPM does not include the effects of government welfare programs. As the Census Bureauexplains, “The official poverty definition uses money e before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash...
Acton Line podcast: Boris Johnson fights for Brexit; The faith of Antonin Scalia
On June 23, 2016, Britain voted to exit the European Union, but since then, Members of Parliament have repeatedly delayed Brexit. While Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now fighting to keep Britain’s leave from the EU on schedule, establishment MPs mitted to ignoring the democratic voice of the British people. Rev. Richard Turnbull, director of The Center for Enterprise, Markets, and Ethics, helps explain the chaos surrounding recent events unfolding in Parliament and what the future likely holds for Brexit....
Why Western Civilization is worth saving
“What is valuable in Western Civilization and why is it worth saving?” Alejo José G. Sison, president of the European Business Ethics Network, poses this question at the beginning of his book review of Samuel Gregg’s “Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization.” In his review, Sison notes how Gregg approaches questions about the philosophical roots of Western Civilization with “honesty” and “modesty,” offering a refreshing view of the West without being reductionist. In proceeding to answer [what is...
Can a big bad state deliver us from evil?
Thirty five years ago the American novelist Thomas Pynchon asked the question, “Is It O.K. To Be A Luddite?” The occasion was the then 25th anniversary of C.P. Snow’s Rede Lecture, “The Two Cultures of the Scientific Revolution,” which argued, way back in 1959, that our culture was increasingly polarized into “literary” and “scientific” factions unable to understand each other. Pynchon, from his 1984 vantage point argued: Today nobody could get away with making such a distinction. Since 1959, we...
9/11: An anti-capitalist jihad
“As you liberated yourselves before from the slavery of monks, kings, and feudalism, you should liberate yourselves from the deception, shackles, and attrition of the capitalist system.” This es, not from theCommunist ManifestoorDas Kapital, but a speech delivered by Osama bin Laden just before the sixth anniversary of 9/11. In the tragedy that grips our hearts every year on this date, it’s vital that we understand the ideology that fueled the worst act of terrorism in U.S. history. The theology...
Chick-fil-A’s fast-food witness: Lessons on ‘Christian business’
Over the past decade, Chick-fil-A has rapidly risen as a leading contender in the fast-food wars, with soaring sales, ever-increasing market share, and a strong reputation for hospitality and customer satisfaction. In the last year alone, revenue rose by 16.7% to $10.5 billion, making Chick-fil-A the third largest restaurant chain in the United States. Given pany’s well-known Christian bent, such success has made it a primary exhibit among those in the faith-work movement—a sterling symbol of what a successful “Christian...
The importance of searching for truth
“What is truth?” This question Pontius Pilate asked Christ moments before the Crucifixion is, in my opinion, the question that the rest of the Gospels spend answering. It is the reason why Jesus gives no specific answer to Pilate in John 18, and instead simply stands there as the answer Himself. But truth, regardless of how much we would like it to be black and white, is often difficult to decipher. Stories, which often contain emotional truths can hold lies...
