Eberstadt is an absolutely brilliant scholar, whose opinions are founded in deep analysis and understanding. This is a written version of the speech he gave at the Annual Dinner at American Enterprise Institute, honoring the late Irving Kristol. This is well worth reading and then reading again. It is a hopeful message.
This is a well written essay on the decline in important institutions that have defined and maintained our culture. He illustrates the decline across a wide range of institutions, which highlight the breadth and extent of this decline. I share his concern and that is why I am so adamant about the issues related to cancel culture.
The scholars at American Enterprise Institute are among the brightest and most thoughtful in America. In this compilation, nine of them offer their views on what the next president needs to do. They cover a range of topics from governmental reform, the pandemic, the looming debt crisis and others. I have not posted each of these essays but you can read them by clicking on the appropriate link.
I am really afraid he’s correct but pray he’s wrong.
Kevin Williamson writes an interesting essay every Tuesday called “The Tuesday”.. Easy to remember. This one talks about how what Democrats don’t like is “illegitimate” as in Trump is an illegitimate president, Amy Barrett is an illegitimate nominee for the Supreme Court. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
In our now fashionable “woke” culture, corporations are being asked to push programs for social justice and elevate employees, customers and the general public good as legitimate and equal stakeholders in the decisions of the management in businesses. Corporations latest fad is to support the entirely Marxist enterprise under the banner of the Black Lives Matter organization and they are providing that support in large numbers. In essence, they are refuting the teachings of Milton Friedman and the wisdom accumulated over centuries about what makes a happy and prosperous society.
This is an important issue and I wrote this essay quickly to deal with it. I will revise this essay over the next few weeks as I hear from you and think further on the points I need to make and the inevitable criticisms I will hear about. Please write your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you.
Ayaan is an incredibly brave and intelligent woman who has undergone extraordinary difficulties in her life – from separation from family to death threats from Islamic militants. I like to hear her take on what’s going on in our country because of her outside perspective.
This is how deeply the indoctrination of our children is going as reported in a Wall Street Journal editorial.. We need not only to have school choice but also control over the curriculum. Its dangerous for our nation and wrong in its content.
This is a good summary of what Black Lives Matter (the Organization) is trying to accomplish and what it means for the rest of us.
Andy Smarick wrote an interesting essay covering liberalism, liberal institutions and their relationships. Somewhat academic, but very thoughtful.
