Is Bankrupting Coal Companies Really Social Justice?
The progressive shareholder activists over at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility have made it one of their core missions to panies in which they invest away from fossil fuels – and bankrupting them if necessary. To achieve this goal, according to their website, ICCR members seek to panies along a “hierarchy of impact” that will gradually reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and advance their progress towards greater sustainability. Understanding its importance in driving the energy transition, ICCR members...
Conference brings together Pope and corporate executives
Corporate leaders are working to mon ground with the Roman Catholic Church when es to ethics and global business. A recent conference in Rome brought together the Pope, Vatican leaders, and global business executives. The purpose was to improve the relations between the two groups after some of Pope Francis’ ments on finance and capitalism. Francis X. Rocca recently wrote about the meeting for the Wall Street Journal: At the two-day meeting organized by the Global Foundation, an Australian nonprofit...
Living in the Mystery of Kingdom Stewardship
When es to economic stewardship, Christians are called to aframe of mind distinct from the world around us. Thoughwe, like anyone, will sowand bear fruit, ours is an approach driven less by ownership than bypartnership, a collaboration with a source of provision before and beyond ourselves.This altershow we create, manage, and invest as individuals. But it mustn’t end there, transforming our churches, businesses, and institutions, from the bottom up and down again. In some helpful reflections from the inner workings...
The Salvation Army Develops New Poverty Measure
“Majority of U.S. public school students are in poverty” That was the headline of a Washington Post article published almost exactly a year ago. The main pointof the article was that, “For the first time in at least 50 years, a majority of U.S. public school e from e families, according to a new analysis of 2013 federal data, a statistic that has profound implications for the nation.” The claim is overblown and misleading (for reasons I explain here) but...
Could Billionaires End Extreme Poverty?
Extreme poverty—defined as living on less than $1.25 a day—has declined by half since 1990, and could theoretically be eliminated across the globe in the next few decades. But there are three countries—Colombia, Georgia, and Swaziland—where a single resident billionaire could eliminate extreme poverty altogether, for at least 15 years. In six other nations, that goal could be achieved by having all the countries billionaires pool their resources. That’s the finding in an intriguing article by Laurence Chandy, Lorenz Noe,...
Video: CBS Report Makes Strong Case for GMOs
A segment on yesterday’s CBS weekend news and entertainment program Sunday Morning informatively dealt with the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms. It’ll likely be the best 11 minutes of broadcast science journalism readers will view all week. The segment contrasts the relatively weak arguments presented by the anti-GMO crowd with the real-world benefits of GMOs for everyone, but especially those struggling from hunger in drought- or flood-ravaged areas and impoverished countries. Two dots not connected in the...
What Kind of Socialist is Bernie Sanders?
While many politicians tend to avoid the labels “liberal” or “progressive,” Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders proudly self-identifies as a “socialist.” While at the University of Chicago in the early 1960s, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth affiliate of the Socialist Party of America, and has remained a outspoken advocate for socialism ever since. But exactly what kind of socialist is Sanders? Faced with the prospect, albeit unlikely, that an avowed socialist may actually...
The Odds are Never In Our Favor
In this week’s Acton Commentary, I take a look at “The Moral and Economic Poverty of the Lottery.” I take a look at the main parties involved: the winners, the players, and the government, and conclude, “Far from a force for good, lotteries are a danger to society.” The problems with lotteries and gambling more generally are various and sundry. But Gerda Reith captures a fundamental aspect when she writes that “the state-sponsored fantasy of the big win turns the...
Star Wars is About Broken Homes
Some people will try to tell you that the Star Wars saga is about the conflict between the light and the dark sides of the force, between the Jedi and the Sith. Some will defend the Jedi as virtuous warrior monks. Others will try to tell you that the whole story is about bad parenting. Star Wars is really about family, but it is too easy to blame the parents and the Skywalkers in particular. The films in fact illustrate...
Does Your Child Have More Wealth Than Half of the World’s Population?
“The 62 richest billionaires own as much wealth as the poorest 50 percent of the world’s population.” You’ve probably seen this statistic—or one like it—before in articles about economic inequality and assumed they must be somewhat revealing. But they aren’t. In reality, such statistics pletely meaningless. The development organization Oxfam trots out this statistic almost every year, and every year gullible journalists fall for it. What many people—including journalists and your friends on social media—don’t realize is that by Oxfam’s...
