Radio Free Acton: Perspectives on Health Care Reform, Part 2
This week Radio Free Acton continues its discussion on healthcare reform. Dr. Donald P. Condit and Dr. Kevin Schmiesing are back, along with host Marc VanderMaas, to talk about alternatives to the current health care proposal and ideas for reforming the system in ways that will both increase the availability of care for all who need it and make economic sense. [audio: If you are not already subscribed to this podcast, here’s the link you’ll want to use to have...
Socialism in America
A great deal has been made in recent weeks about Ronald Reagan‘s critique of nationalized or socialized health care from 1961: We can go back a bit further, though, and take a look at an intriguing piece from 1848, a dialogue on socialism and the French Revolution and the relationship of socialism to democracy, which includes Alexis de Tocqueville‘s critique of socialism in general. One interesting note is that Tocqueville identifies one of the mon to all forms of socialism...
Karen Laub-Novak, RIP
The Acton Institute, and I personally, have lost one of our most enduring and earliest friends in the peaceful (and I am told, beautiful – if such a word can be used) death of Karen Laub-Novak, wife of our long-time collaborator and mentor Michael Novak. During the time I lived in Washington, D.C., some 25 years ago, the Novak dinner table became a veritable salon of the free society. As Michael would be mixing up his magical Manhattans (where I...
Jaffa on How Marx May Win After All
This from a new mon Knowledge interview with Harry Jaffa: The society of the future is one in which the moral distinction that is based upon the Judeo-Christian and Greek traditions will dissolve. We are moving into a Communist world; we are moving into the world that Marx wanted without knowing it and without having the kind of revolution that Marx predicted and thought was necessary. For example, the President always talks about our values. What does [President Obama] mean...
A Checkered Future?
Chester E. Finn Jr. served with William J. Bennett [The Book of Virtues et al] in The Department of Education under President Reagan from 1985 to 1988 — that point in Reagan’s presidency when the talk of shutting down the Department had been abandoned. Bennett has often quipped about his tenure while SecEd as one where he stood at the ship’s wheel turning it from starboard to port all the while not realizing that the cables connecting the wheel with...
The City Online
As promised, the Summer 2009 issue of The City is now available online. In addition to my review of Blind Spot, this issue includes a host of noteworthy items, including Wilfred McClay’s essay, “The Soul & The City,” and a review by HBU provost Paul Bonicelli of Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is a Better Way for Africa, by Dambisa Moyo. Bonicelli, formerly an assistant administrator for USAID, discusses how his own experience as a...
Announcement: A Caritas in Veritate Reader
In response to the ongoing interest in Pope Benedict’s new encyclical, the Acton Institute is readying the publication of Caritas in Veritate — A Reader. This encyclical, in all of its remarkable depth, will no doubt be the subject of thoughtful analysis for a long time e. Later this summer, Acton will gather the best of its mentary on Caritas and selected articles from other observers in a single volume that will be available in hard copy and in a...
Acton Commentary: Corruption, Communism, and Catholicism in Vietnam
When the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989, that event visibly marked the collapse of a Communist ideology that had oppressed, tortured and killed millions for decades. But now, 20 years later, Communist authorities are once again taking aim at an old target — the Christian Church. Samuel Gregg looks at the alarming persecution of Roman Catholics in Vietnam in mentary, “Corruption, Communism, and Catholicism in Vietnam.” Gregg articulates the horrifying reasons for the continued persecution that Catholics in Vietnam...
On Calvinism and Capitalism
I don’t much like the term Calvinism. I think it is historically unhelpful, and in general prefer to use something like Reformed theology or speak about the Reformed confessions, depending on the particular context. And I don’t much like the term capitalism, preferring instead to discuss the market economy, or perhaps, in light of the results below, free enterprise. But while popular and intellectual usage certainly prefers the use of the former term (even if it often is caricatured or...
Prioritized Giving
There’s more evidence that amidst the economic downturn people are ing more careful and intentional about the kinds of charities they fund. We’ve seen that those likely to continue to flourish are those that have cultivated a “family-like” connection with their donors. Often more local charities do well in this kind of climate. And, of course, the focus of the charity matters, too. Robert J. Samuelson reports (HT: Theolog) that charitable giving was down $308 billion in 2008, and will...
