Jeremy Bunch: Burning the Land Slowly 30:02

6M ago30:02

30:02

This talk will help define the increasingly popular term 'regenerative agriculture,' and will explore how it intersects with critical elements of food production sustainability, which is foundational to civilization itself. The systems we have built to produce and distribute food, and just about anything else for that manner, extract and consume fi…

George Harrell: Peter Zeihan & The Myth of the Pax Americana 32:06

6M ago32:06

32:06

Contrary to the post-Cold War, triumphalist narrative, after WWII the United States did not altruistically transcend power politics and become the world’s stabilizing umpire. Geopolitics was never turned off as Peter Zeihan claimed, nor did history end as Francis Fukuyama predicted. Instead, it was a period of brutal business as usual, and we are j…

Jonathan McIntosh: Why We Must Get Serious About Natural Rights 27:03

6M ago27:03

27:03

Cherished by some while deplored by others, the concept of natural rights has had a deeply ambivalent legacy among conservative Christians. This presentation will give a definition and short history of the concept of natural rights, review some of the main objections to the idea, and conclude with a defense of the coherence and, indeed, inevitabili…

Tim Nadreau: Fascism By Any Other Name 33:50

6M ago33:50

33:50

Monetary and fiscal policy have undergone dramatic changes since Covid-19, and movement towards Modern Monetary Theory has accelerated in the U.S.. Economics as a profession still views the theory as heterodox and has largely left it alone to “die on the vine” as it were. Because MMT is a bit of an intellectual curiosity and is politically advantag…

Jordan Dorney: Xenophon and Socratic Libertarianism 33:26

1+ y ago33:26

33:26

Why does it seem so difficult for people to acquire, exercise, and establish political rule over others? Why can't human rulers get their human "herds" to obey them willingly like shepherds can with sheep? Why is everyone always revolting against the regime? Xenophon's Education of Cyrus begins with reflection on these questions apparently connecte…

Jonathan McIntosh: More Mere Than Mere Christendom 25:42

1+ y ago25:42

25:42

For over a decade Pr. Douglas Wilson has been introducing the highly suggestive term Mere Christendom into contemporary Christian discourse as a way of describing what it is that Christians ought to be striving for politically. With the recent publication of his book by the same title, this is as opportune a time as any to ask: Just what is “Mere C…

George Harrell: A Conservative Rethinking of the French Revolution, Part 2 30:36

1+ y ago30:36

30:36

The French Revolution has entered the popular imagination as a class conflict arising from Rousseau’s Enlightenment philosophy. However, if we analyze the French revolutions of 1789 and 1792 with a proper historical approach that appreciates the true nature of human action, we discover that the motivations behind these events were far more complex,…

Brian Points: The Quibbling Rabble: The History and Future of US Housing Policy 32:13

1+ y ago32:13

32:13

Believe it or not, land use policy and its array of offshoots form one of the most hotly contested political issues in the USA today. Topics such as comprehensive plans, conditional use permits, re-zoning, and variances are keeping some of your neighbors up at night. With materials and development costs skyrocketing, state and local elected officia…

Isaac Madsen: Antidote to Anecdote - Statistics As Crucial to the Mission of Tertiary Christian Education 32:48

1+ y ago32:48

32:48

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted an issue in tertiary Christian education. Many Christians are deficient in their understanding of statistics. Whereas a lack of understanding in specialized fields (e.g. soil science) results in an excusable knowledge gap, an inadequate understanding of statistics bars access to a great deal of knowledge which reli…

Jonathan McIntosh: "I didn't agree to that!" - Consent and Other Theories of Political Obligation 27:23

1+ y ago27:23

27:23

Does government derive its legitimacy from the consent of the governed? In the modern era, the doctrine of consent has become so popular as to be commonplace, yet it is far from clear what it would actually mean for government to be truly based on consent, or how such a theory is to be reconciled with other Christian convictions on authority, custo…

Jeremy Bunch: Frederic Bastiat - Economic Harmonies & Discord 26:55

1+ y ago26:55

26:55

Frédéric Bastiat's (1801-1850) project of critically explaining the glories of free and voluntary markets from an economic perspective went left unfinished due to disease that took him at a relatively young age. However, many of his key thoughts are contained in his book Economic Harmonies. For Bastiat, economic harmony is naturally a result of men…

Jeremy Bunch - A Libertarian View of Christian Nationalism 29:04

2y ago29:04

29:04

Christian Nationalism has specifically come into its own in the last year as an ideological movement. One of the core driving forces of this movement is the insistence on recognizing objective truth about the world, not giving into ideologically progressive lies about the nature of creation, and therefore recognizing that dictionaries are important…

George Harrell: These Un-United States: National Myth and Political Reality in the American Founding 41:50

2y ago41:50

41:50

Calls for a resurgence of American nationalism are often defended by a supposed historical American national identity that emerged either with the Declaration of Independence in 1776 or with the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1789. And indeed, throughout the 1770s, 80s and 90s, American politicians often argued for separation from Britain, an…

Chris Walker - The Last Chain: Building Economic Networks 13:08

2y ago13:08

13:08

A dive into a critical analysis of monetary premia held by current currencies, and a proposal to support local human flourishing through digital currencies targeting local price stability via algorithmic central banks. George Buchanan was a late 16th-century Scottish Reformed thinker who used Scripture, history, and the natural law to argue for the…

Jonathan McIntosh - What Should We Think About The Social Contract? 21:55

2y ago21:55

21:55

Social contract theory is the idea that the political community has its origins in, and that political legitimacy and obligation therefore rest upon, the consent of the governed. This lecture will revisit John Locke’s famous version of the social contract, while also touching briefly on both its antecedents in earlier political philosophy and its l…

Jonathan McIntosh - Common Grace vs. Political Presuppositionalism 27:11

2+ y ago27:11

27:11

The doctrine of common grace is important for helping us avoid two opposing ditches that Reformed Christians are prone to fall into in thinking about the possibility of a shared social order between believers and non-believers. Related to avoiding these two ditches, the doctrine of common grace also helps us unite two impulses that are often assume…

George Harrell - How to Create a Coup: How the 1953 Overthrow of Iran Became a CIA Blueprint 32:11

2+ y ago32:11

32:11

In 1953 the CIA secretly paid for and organized a coup against Iranian Prime Minister, Mossadegh, overthrowing Iran’s parliamentary government and replacing it with the dictatorial regime of the Shah. This event, the CIA’s first coup, became a turning point in CIA history. The ease with which they were able to conduct regime change, and its apparen…

Jeremy Bunch - Rothbard: Enemy of the Egalitarians 29:59

2+ y ago29:59

29:59

Murray N. Rothbard critiqued egalitarianism for its unreasonableness and its truly horrific agenda. Egalitarianism, according to Rothbard, is a revolt against the order of nature, and such revolts must be exposed for their evil intents. Socialism, a political and economic revolt against nature, carries the egalitarianism agenda, and therefore its t…

George Harrell – The Munich Myth: Re-examining the Lead up to WWII and Appeasement 29:01

3+ y ago29:01

29:01

Chamberlain’s failed policy of appeasement at Munich has become a byword for kowtowing to evil. It has also become the argument for every foreign intervention since WWII. However, the popular “lesson of Munich” narrative fails to capture the complexities of 1930s European geopolitics, as well as British and French foreign policy decisions. And the …

Chris Walker – Taking from Caesar: Cryptocurrency as a Better Game of Money 30:11

3+ y ago30:11

30:11

Cryptocurrency has pushed the boundaries of how economists have traditionally thought about the nature of money. Exploring the differences between cryptocurrency and more traditionally defined forms of money helps us understand a way forward toward a moral monetary system, one that has separated itself from state control. Recorded January 30, 2021 …

George Harrell – Southern Slavery and Confederate Socialism 27:53

3+ y ago27:53

27:53

In the antebellum South the planter-class used fundamentally anti-free market means to build a slaveocracy, with which they exploited and oppressed not only black slaves, but also non-slave owning whites. This system of state and federal coercion eventually then evolved into full blown economic socialism with the rise of the Confederacy. Recorded J…

Jonathan McIntosh – Evaluating Calvin: A Critique of “On Civil Government” 25:39

3+ y ago25:39

25:39

Calvin’s “On Civil Government,” from book 4, ch. 20 of his Institutes, is a foundational text in Reformed political theory. Though Calvin situates himself within the classical natural law tradition, adapting it to a new, Protestant context, in important ways his work marks a regression from some of the more liberalizing tendencies of earlier natura…

Jeremy Bunch – An Integrated Theology of Biblical Kingship 28:08

3+ y ago28:08

28:08

The biblical role of the magistrate in society has long been debated in the church down to our own day, but the theological approaches to the matter have largely leaned on a systematic theological approach, where proof texts are plucked out of Scripture without recognition of an overarching biblical narrative. Without diminishing the importance of …

Jonathan McIntosh – Towards a Natural Law Libertarianism 22:38

3+ y ago22:38

22:38

Though usually thought of as antithetical philosophical frameworks, classical natural law theory and political libertarianism belong together. Natural law theory provides libertarianism (the political theory based on the non-aggression principle) with the theological and moral framework in which libertarianism finds its proper grounding, and libert…

Tim Harmon – Faith and Reason in Protestant Scholasticism 31:27

3+ y ago31:27

31:27

This paper addresses the place of faith and reason in human apprehension of the law of God. It does so in order to offer theological clarity regarding key concepts (faith, reason, and the law of God) appealed to in Christian political thought. While drawing on Protestant Scholastic categories and distinctions, the approach offered here is more cons…

George Harrell - “Politics as Usual: The Making of the U.S. Constitution” 28:39

3+ y ago28:39

28:39

Americans, and especially conservative Americans, hold the Constitution with a certain holy reverence, as though it was the product of the founders’ unified, political ideology for how best to run a government. In reality, the U.S. Constitution reflects not just the founders’ good intentions, but also, as Benjamin Franklin described it, “their prej…
