Nov 14, 2024 10:20 PM

On thisepisode of Radio Free Acton, we revisit a previous RFAinterview with David LaRocca: a philosopher, author, and filmmaker who has released a documentary on Italian fashion designer and entrepreneur Brunello Cuccinelli. Cucinelli has built a pany by creating high-quality apparel, but more interesting than that is the philosophy that undergirds his business and all of his life.

Government Should Not Discriminate Against Religious Foster, Adoption Agencies
Yesterday was a great day for my family. We had recently celebrated the addition of two girls. My niece and her husband adopted them, and yesterday was the girls’ baptism. My mother was there; she and my dad fostered children and adopted two. My two daughters were there to celebrate; they are both adopted. If the government and certain entities have their way, none of this will happen for families like ours – families for whom religious faith is paramount,...
Learning To Mourn Amid Work That Wounds
I recently wrote about “wounding work,” a term Lester DeKoster assigns to work that, while meaningful and fruitful, is “cross bearing, self-denying, and life-sacrificing” in deep and profound ways. Take the recent reflections of a former Methodist minister, who, upon shifting from ministry into blue-collar work at a factory, struggled to find meaning and purpose. “I am not challenged at all in this work,” he writes, “and I want something more.” Although DeKoster helps us recognize that meaning and purpose...
Forced Sterilization, Here And Abroad: Egregious Human Rights Violation
There are people like Margaret Sanger, Dr. Karan Singh and Rudolf Hess who believed that certain people had no right to reproduce, and they worked very hard to make that so. Whether done for population control or for reasons of eugenics, forced sterilization has a long and sordid history. Arina O. Grossu at Aletetia has done a nice job of summing up this ugly practice. Whether it’s here in the U.S. or abroad, forcing people to be sterilized (often without...
Shutting Down ALEC Stifles Free Speech
The 2014 proxy shareholder season is over, and left-of-center religious investment groups such as the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and As You Sow are crowing about victories and announcing their plans for next year. For example, ICCR notes in its latest issue of The Corporate Examiner: While virtually pany participates in lobbying of some panies often make undisclosed expenditures to third-party trade associations which then use that money in ways that can run counter to pany’s publicly-stated positions. After...
‘The Holy War on Corporate Politicking’
Acton’s president and co-founder, Rev. Robert Sirico, recently wrote a piece for Real Clear Religion about corporations and social justice activism. He warns that the religious left’s attempts to stifle free speech in corporate boardrooms would certainly negatively impact our political life. Every annual meeting season, we watch as a small group of activist groups on the left such as As You Sow and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility submit proxy resolutions that demand disclosures of corporate public policy...
U.S. Responsibility To Victims of ISIS
The U.S. is beginning to bring much needed humanitarian supplies to victims of war in Iraq. Aleteia is reporting that Cargo planes dropped parachuted crates of food and water over an area in the mountains outside Sinjar, where thousands of members of the Yazidi minority where sheltering, according to witnesses in the militant-held town, who asked not to be identified for security reasons. At the same time, U.S. military has begun airstrikes against the terrorists Irbil, a city in the...
Iraqi Religious Minority Faces Extinction
The Yazidis are a tiny religious minority, Kurdish by ethnicity, who are facing extinction by the Islamic State in Iraq. While there are about 700,000 Yazidis worldwide, more than half a million were living in Iraq, although many have fled the violence in the nation. The Yazidis trace their religious roots back to the 11th century, when an Ummayad sheik broke off from mainline Islam. Their ancient religion is a blend of Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Islam. Yazidis believe that...
Hayek, Inequality, and Poverty Alleviation
Yesterday, Acton research associate Dylan Pahman made the connection between inequality and poverty alleviation. Today, he continues that argument and explains how the connection affirms the moral merits of economic liberty: Hayek argued for a stronger connection between inequality and economic progress in his 1960 work The Constitution of Liberty. “New knowledge and its benefits,” writes Hayek, “can spread only gradually, and the ambitions of the many will always be determined by what is as yet accessible only to the...
A Vietnamese Refugee and the Virtue of Sacrifice
Religion & Liberty recently interviewed former German war correspondent Uwe Siemon-Netto. He’s also the author of Triumph of the Absurd, a book chronicling his time covering the war in Vietnam. One of Siemon-Netto’s recurring themes is the still propped up line in the West that North Vietnam’s aggression was a “people’s revolution” or an act of liberation. A people’s revolution doesn’t execute soldiers who have laid down their arms or force large segments of the population in South Vietnam into...
