How ‘economic development’ funds harm economic development
Entrepreneurs face a daunting task anywhere in the world. But in the European Union, a unique obstacle blocks the path toincreasing production and furthering human flourishing. “EU funding is closing European businesses,” writes Marcin Rzegocki in a new essay forReligion & Liberty Transatlantic. The EU Structural Funds program redistributes funds from wealthier nations to poorer EU member states. The program isintended to spur economic growth and dynamism by giving entrepreneurs start-up money and expertise. Instead,the good intentions of the EU...

Is the Declaration of Independence a ‘Christian’ document?
‘Faith is a very, very important part of my life,” presidential candidate Rick Santorum said in 2012, “but it’s a very, very important part of this country. The foundational documents of our country—everybody talks about the Constitution, very, very important. But the Constitution is the ‘how’ of America. It’s the operator’s manual. The ‘why’ of America, who we are as a people, is in the Declaration of Independence: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created...
What if there were no profits?
Like many oth­ers, Pope Francis fails to see the good of profit, says Dylan Pahman in this week’s Acton Commentary. There is a false dichotomy here between profits and poverty. Stock markets pany value, which is related to profit but not the same, and people can idolize that. But what Francis doesn’t see is that without panies go out of business, all of the people who work for them lose their jobs, and poverty grows. As Adam Smith put it,...
Can this transatlantic policy make America great again?
As the United States prepares to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday, too many American workers are on a permanent vacation. Seven million American men in their prime working years are not working nor actively seeking work, something that inflicts a multitude of harms upon them and society as a whole. Yet a European model may open the door for them to return, or enter, the ranks of productive society. One of the few bright spotsof President Trump’s March 17...
The Declaration of Independence as American creed
The Declaration of Independence contains the clearest, most concise, and most eloquent articulation of the American creed, says David Azerrad, a political definition of man in two axioms, and three corollary propositions on government. In the course of making this argument and building their case, the founders also laid down the timeless and universal principles that were to define the new country. In that second paragraph, we find the clearest, most concise, and most eloquent articulation of the American creed....
What the pastor taught the professor about social justice
I’m a middle-aged professor who regularly does a presentation on social justice. As a dedicated believer in the power of free markets, I tend to focus on social justice as distributive justice. In other words, what are the arguments we have about how we slice the economic pie? What kind of a statement is being made by Occupy Wall Street when they posture class conflict as a battle between “the 1%” and “the 99%?” Those are the sorts of things...

New Yorkers can fix the subway – if we let them
Just last week, two New York City subway cars derailed, causing dozens of injuries.The situation did not improve on the next day when repairs caused delays and confusing schedule changes. In response, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency and pledged $1 billion dollars to update the subway system. This is hardly the first problem the subway system has recently faced. “The power failures that have been going on,” Cuomo began in a recent address, “that have...
