“Everyone is scared, permanently.”
“Everyone is scared, permanently.”
Nov 7, 2025 5:28 PM

As I was browsing news reports this morning on North Korea’s nuclear test, I stumbled upon this fascinating hour-long documentary on the world’s most reclusive country entitled e to North Korea.

Dutch journalist and filmmaker Peter Tetteroo was somehow granted permission to bring his camera into North Korea, and the images that he brought back are haunting. One would be hard pressed to find a regime more oppressive and evil than the one entrenched in Pyongyang.

Words fail me. I can only encourage you to take the time to watch the video, and view the results of over half a century munist oppression.

Is Latin America prepared for coronavirus?
This morning Alejandro Chafuen, Acton’s managing director, international, wrote in Forbes about Latin American countries’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus there hasn’t reached the levels we see in China or Europe or even the U.S., but there are serious concerns about preparedness for future developments, especially regarding Brazil and Mexico, the region’s two largest countries in both population and economic strength. Populist leaders Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil and Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico have often seemed flippant...
Spain learned the wrong lessons from the ‘yellow vests’
With COVID-19 ushering in a new era of social distancing, the idea of a mass demonstration seems as quaint as a delivery from the milkman. However, as recently as last month the memory of France’s gilet jaunes—the yellow-vested protesters who blocked French intersections over proposed fuel taxes—inspired Spanish farmers to block streets and wring ill-conceived concessions from the government. Spanish farmers believed producers should receive the lion’s share of the final sales cost. This echoes the Marxist “labor theory of...
This Alabama church is offering COVID-19 tests
Given the dramatic disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, many are reflecting on ways to better love and serve our neighbors during times of crisis. While disciplined social distancing is the obvious first step, we also see a number of ground-up efforts to mobilize congregations and institutions to support the evolving needs of individuals munities. For example, the largest church in Birmingham, Alabama—the Church of the Highlands—has coordinated with the governor and a local laboratory to host and facilitate drive-through coronavirus...
Review: ‘America Lost’ and the crisis of faith and work
However unique their history or munities experiencing high unemployment are pockmarked by the same sights: shuttered factories, rows of abandoned homes bulldozed or set ablaze by arsonists, and a debilitating hopelessness. After sifting through the wreckage of jobless cities and shattered lives for his new documentary,America Lost filmmaker Christopher F. Rufo found a crisis of faith and work. Rufo spent three years following the lives of people struggling to get by in three munities: Youngstown, Ohio; Memphis, Tennessee; and Stockton,...
€153M in coronavirus philanthropy helps plug Italy’s drained public coffers
Clearly, we are facing a disheartening situation here in Italy, where I study at one of Rome’s pontifical universities. It seems that every day brings more bad news, more regulations, and more uncertainty. Public health resources and state coffers are also stretched rail thin. As Italy’s public funds have been rapidly depleting, the gap certainly needs to be filled and filled quickly. In the face of this massive financial challenge, and despite the constant demonizing of the richest 1% “who...
The most important truth in Cuomo and Trump’s ventilator dispute
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and President Donald Trump are verbally sparring over who bears the blame for the state’s lack of ventilators, a crucial need for patients suffering from the coronavirus. Beneath the incendiary rhetoric of the two leaders, neither of whom is a stranger to verbal fisticuffs, lies an important but little-remarked fact. The insight revolves around one number: 15,783. That figure spotlights failings well beyond this controversy. The battle of blame-shifting involves who should be purchasing ventilators...
Acton Line podcast: A hopeful message in a time of crisis from Rev. Robert Sirico
In this episode, Acton’s President and Co-founder, Rev. Robert Sirico, offers some thoughts on what the role of the government should be during a crisis. When we’re confronted with unique crises, especially like the Coronavirus pandemic the world is facing now, there are justified government interventions. However, we can’t discount the principle of subsidiarity, as well as the division of labor and voluntary action. How can we wisely approach these principles in the reality of our current context? Rev. Sirico...

How to grow in wisdom in a time of uncertainty
Earlier this week, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a “stay at home” order in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. As a result, many people have taken on new responsibilities and challenges in addition to their existing duties. For those working in what have been deemed “essential businesses,” this has meant additional professional requirements. For those working in jobs deemed “non-essential,” employers and employees have either had to transform the nature of their work creatively or reduce—and in...
Lesser-known books by Wilhelm Röpke that you should read
With so many people around the world in moderate or full quarantines and lockdowns, many of them are turning to books to pass the time, ease their fears, or simply take advantage of an unexpected and involuntary opportunity to recharge their intellectual batteries. This being the case, I’d like to offer a short summary of some of the lesser-known books written by one of my favorite thinkers, the German economist Wilhelm Röpke, in the hope that it may entice some...
