  • The Myth of Rural “Assistance”

    The Myth of Rural “Assistance”1

    As the old country proverb goes, “if it’s happened once, it’s damned-shor’ gonna happen again.” Robert Wright’s forthcoming book, New Deals Exposed: How the Miseries of the Great Depression are Being Repeated Today, makes the convincing case that the sort of good-intentioned lunacy which marked New Deal policy failures is happening all over again, as the world

    The Egotism of Withdrawal From Church and Community8

    The other day, a friend of mine brought an interesting Barna poll to my attention. Conducted in 2022, it explored the state of the American church before, after, and during the COVID pandemic.
