Montana Cowboys, Adam Smith, and Trump
Dreams of ownership enticed our ancestors to leave the Old World and build a new country. They did not want to work other people’s lands. They did not want to be taxed by feudal lords for the rest of their lives. They wanted to own the fruits of their labor. They wanted to own their own farms. They wanted complete control over their economic fortunes — beholden to no-one. Needless to say, most of their descendants have forgotten why freedom is impossible without private property. Renting everything from a handful of oligarchs and governments, as Sheridan’s cowboy points out, means that we end up working entirely for them and never for ourselves.

Pope Pius XII, Message on Women’s Duties in the Social and Political Life of Today (October 21, 1945)
“Equality of rights with man brought with it her [woman’s] abandonment of the home where she reigned as queen, and her subjection to the same work strain and working hours. It entails depreciation of her true dignity and the solid foundation of all her rights which is her characteristic feminine role, and the intimate coordination of the two sexes.

How to Dress Like a Gentleman—And Why
If I were to give my younger self some advice, I would tell him to start with a dark navy suit, a gray suit, two white shirts, two light-blue shirts, and a pair of black shoes—loafers or oxfords.

What Natural Law Can and Can't Do
Natural law is invoked in a wide range of contexts, sometimes reverently and sometimes with deep skepticism. Here, Howes explains clearly what natural law is and why it is useful. In general it is not good for supplying definitive, unassailable answers to difficult moral questions. Rather, it supplies a framework for debating moral questions fruitfully. It complements virtue ethics by presuming that human nature and human thriving are real things, and that morally good behavior will promote the latter. But its greatest value may flow from the affirmation of a moral standard that transcends positive or civil law, and the belief that applying human reason to difficult questions can bring us closer to the truth.
