As we rapidly approach the finish line of this year’s presidential election, emotions run high and pundits weigh in on how its outcome may affect the stock market. Interestingly, history is unclear as to whether the stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) cares which party ultimately holds the presidency.

Book Review: Bloomberg’s Micklethwait And Wooldridge Foretold Today’s Revolt Against Non-responsive, Corrupt Western Democracies Back In 2014

September 13, 2024

In 2014, when I first reviewed The Fourth Revolution: The Global Race to Reinvent the State by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, I was struck by how boldly they tackled the impending crisis in governance. They identified the key political challenge of the coming decade: fixing the bloated and dysfunctional state. Their analysis was as sharp as it was prophetic,...

In one survey of grammarians, two words deemed to be among the most beautiful sounding in the English language were Agape and Philadelphia. The problem is that these actually are Greek. There also are many aphorisms in the English language that have become so familiar that one may not realize that their sources are in antiquity. Take for instance “Who...

Repost from December 20, 2016—The maxim “It is always darkest before the dawn” supposedly dates to the seventeenth century, but sentiments like it have been around forever.

Two Standards: Investing Is Harder For Catholics

A serious Catholic, in my opinion, is called to bring the faith into all areas of life. No walling off makes sense if we are making a sincere effort to follow Jesus.

Life can change in a split second. My wife Pat and I experienced this first-hand a few weeks ago while visiting friends. How could I summarize? Shock. Utter shock. No time to think. No safety net.
