Commentary In the third of his four part review of Terrence Keeley’s Sustainable, Rupert Darwall writes that ESG rests on a vision of the free-market economy that says capitalism needs to be led by people with the right values, which raises the question: Whose values? This makes ESG inherently divisive, explaining the pushback ESG is…
Epoch Cinema Documentary Review: ‘The Call of the Entrepreneur’
Commentary In many of today’s popular media, such as films, TV, and literature, capitalism is often maligned. Capitalists, particularly entrepreneurs, are often portrayed as inherently morally compromised and self-aggrandizing scumbags who don’t care about anyone else but themselves. This negative stereotype is reinforced through numerous movies such as “American Psycho (2000)” and far-left filmmaker Michael…
Inflation by Design
Commentary Years ago, one of my high school teachers showed us the great essay by Leonard Read called “I, Pencil.” We used pencils in those pre-internet days, and my “young mind full of mush” (hat tip to Rush Limbaugh) was inspired by the essay’s message: the common pencil, in its components, is extraordinarily complex and the…
Is Capitalism Devouring Itself?
Commentary When lockdowns happened in 2020, and then went on and on, and small business was smashed and the bourgeois lifestyle criminalized, and churches shut and normally attacked, and the bureaucracies took over and ruled in the name of science that proved wrong time and time again, and a whole generation of students and workers…

Like the Old McCarthyism, the New McCarthyism Targets Russia
Commentary In January 1956, the iconoclastic leftist American poet Allen Ginsberg wrote “America,” a prose poem that laments the state of the country and the poet’s place in it. “America” was included in the short poetry collection entitled “Howl,” published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s City Lights Publishers in November of the same year. In 1957, “Howl” became a cause célèbre as…
The Backstory of the Great Reset, or How to Destroy Classical Liberalism
Commentary As should be clear by now, Francis Fukuyama’s declaration in “The End of History: The Last Man” (1992) that we had arrived at “the end of history” did not mean that classical liberalism, or laissez-faire economics, had emerged victorious over communism and fascism, or that the final ideological hegemony signaled the end of socialism.
