How Kuyper can bring evangelicals and Catholics together
Have Catholics sacrificed the integrity of their faith tradition by allying with conservative evangelicals (like me)? Matthew Walther, a national correspondent at The Week, thinks so. Walther claims the alliance between Catholics and evangelical Protestants was born of supposedly shared values. “In fact, few shared values exist,” says Walther. Seemingly in exchange for the cooperation of evangelicals, conservative American Catholics have abandoned one of the great jewels in the crown of the Church, her modern social magisterium, the tradition that...
When big business lowers food prices: the Sainsbury’s-Asda merger
Everyone “knows” that big businesses collude in order to raise consumer prices – and the larger the business, the more it can demand. In that case, what is everyone to do with the merger of two UK supermarket titans, Sainsbury’s and Asda, which is forecast to lower food prices for British families? The merger would see number-two supermarket Sainsbury’s purchase petitor Asda, which is currently owned by Walmart. The £7.3 billion ($9.9 billion U.S.) “tie-up” (which consists of £3 billion...
Evangelicals, race, and abortion: Finding common cause in the fight for life
In our climate of heightened racial tensions, many evangelicals have sought to openly affirm human dignity and join the fight against racial injustice. For a recent example, one can look to the ERLC’s recent event on the 50thanniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, during which 4,000 evangelicals joined together to “reflect on the state of racial unity in the church and the culture.” Yet amid such efforts, we’ve also seen a range of critiques from progressive evangelicals, claiming that...
The importance of institutions
Note: This is post #77 in a weekly video series on basic economics. When es to understanding economic growth, says Tyler Cowen of Marginal Revolution University, institutions are often critically important. When economists talk about institutions, they mean things like laws and regulations, such as property rights, dependable courts and political stability. Institutions also include cultural norms, such as the ones surrounding honesty, trust, and cooperation. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow, I’d mend watching them...

The forgotten Catholic founders of economics
Many people acclaim Adam Smith as the father of economics. Others trace the origins of economics to the eighteenth century Physiocrats, while others look back far asAristotle. “The real founders of economic science actually wrote hundreds of years before Smith,” wrote Lew Rockwell at Mises.org. “They were not economists as such, but moral theologians, trained in the tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas, and they came to be known collectively as the Late Scholastics.” These thinkers, who were associated with Spain’s...
Don’t save Barnes & Noble!
First it happened to Toys ‘R’ Us, but we did nothing plain). Now it may be happening to Barnes & Noble, and we will do nothing again. (Nothing plain, that is. We’ll definitely do that again.) Yes, to start what will likely be weeks if not months plaining about another big box mega-corporation struggling to stay in the black, David Leonhardt of the New York Times yesterday pleaded that we (meaning government regulators) “Save Barnes & Noble!” He writes, pany’s...
FAQ: New Karl Marx statue cheered by EU and China
On the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth, his hometown unveiled a new statue donated by the Chinese government. The event drew praise from EU and German politicians, as well as outrage from pro-liberty thought leaders across Europe and around the world – especially those who had lived under Communist regimes.

‘Bernie Sanders at a rally in New Orleans, Louisiana, July 26, 2015’ by Nick Solari CC BY-SA 2.0 Last month the Washington Post reported, “Sen.
