Intangible assets and the Catholic framework for economic life
Employees can always decide whether or not to give you their "hearts and minds." The secret is to find out how to appeal to the "what’s in it for me."The political ideology of unprogrammed Quakers
The shift away from Quakerism’s roots in classic liberalism concerns me greatly.
The Cross of Christ for 8 Mile Road
Just as Judeo-Christianity is linked to the blessings of prosperity in a free and virtuous society, so too human sin is linked to all that has made Detroit a city that evokes associations with Hell.A subtle threat to freedom
The popular media's use of the words community, society, state, and government interchangeably introduces a fallacy with potentially dire consequences.Living truth for a post-Christian world: The message of Francis Schaeffer and Karol Wojtyla
These two great Christian pastors probably would have liked each other as well as deeply appreciated each other’s vision of the Christian life, each marked by intellectual vigor, theological substance, doctrinal orthodoxy, compassion, and a love for people.The phenomenon of globalization

The Supreme Court’s ruling that it does not violate the First Amendment for parents to use school vouchers to send children to religious schools has set off a firestorm of debate over the establishment clause of the Constitution. For a society that is so overwhelmingly religious, as much now as ever before in American history, we seem to have grave difficulties reaching a balanced view of the relationship between faith and public life.George Orwell: A Study in Trans-Political Truth-Speaking
No writer of the twentieth century has touched popular political sensibilities with as broad an effect as George Orwell. There is enduring interest in his two antitotalitarian novels, Animal Farm and 1984, which together set forth a sort of intellectual prophetic ground for the Cold War that Orwell only just glimpsed, dying as he did in 1950 of tuberculosis.Why Should Businessmen Read Great Literature?
