An Education For The Free
quoting Peter Berkowitz via ArkansasOnline
John Stuart Mill, a liberal in the old and better sense of the word, once tried to explain the difference between what too many of today's upwardly mobile confuse with an education and the real thing. An educated man or woman is someone who does more than climb on the career treadmill and follow it to the heights of power, influence and wealth.

A Turning Point in History  William Kilpatrick
I dare say that most people who have read history would like to think that if they had been present at some pivotal point in history, they would have chosen the right side—with the Allies and against the Axis, with Wilberforce and against the slave traders, with the Romans and against the child-sacrificing Carthaginians.

From the archives: The rise and fall and rise again of socialism
Karlyn Bowman and Joseph Kosten | AEIdeas 
Today, despite the reality in places such as Venezuela, the term socialism is in vogue again. Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it is far superior to socialism, which has never delivered on its promises and left millions in terrible circumstances.

​RICHARD FEYNMAN AND THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLEBy EPPC Fellow Algis Valiunas
The New Atlantis


The modern world is sometimes called disenchanted, denuded of magic, because science has annihilated the invisible homeland of the spirits, where angels, demons, and God himself were believed to dwell. But Richard Feynman spoke unabashedly of the wonders and miracles to be found in nature as modern science describes it. Read More
(See also Mr. Valiunas’s piece for the Weekly Standardexplaining that physics was “glorious play” for Feynman.)

THE LURE OF OUTSIDERISMBy EPPC Hertog Fellow Yuval Levin
National Review Online

Across society, people with roles to play inside institutions instead see those institutions as platforms for them to perform on, and the performance they offer up is generally a morality play about their own marginalization. As a result, too often no one claims ownership of the institutions of our society, and so no one accepts responsibility for them.
