Chicago Thinker

“University professors are entrusted to facilitate that exchange, to teach critical thinking to our children, and to serve as role models for civil discourse. That special respect, that trust, demands a very serious obligation on the part of university professors and leaders to meet the standard that deserves such trust. During the pandemic, university presidents and professors, falsely clothed by their titles, reminiscent of the Emperor’s, were exposed as lacking what it takes to be leaders.”

The Chicago Thinker is proud to announce the Acton Institute as a partner for this year’s American Identity Summit.

Named for the English historian Lord John Acton, whose warning that power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely shaped modern thinking on liberty and morality, the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty is an ecumenical think tank built around a single idea, that a free society and a virtuous one are inseparable, and that the market economy rests on a moral foundation it cannot do without. Its mission is to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles, with human flourishing as the end.

Through Acton University, its lecture and conference series, the quarterly Religion and Liberty, the peer-reviewed Journal of Markets and Morality, and a wider publishing and film program, Acton convenes religious leaders, entrepreneurs, scholars, and students across Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions to treat economics as a moral discipline. Its ten core principles, including the dignity of the person, the rule of law, the creation of wealth, economic liberty, and the priority of culture, set out a framework in which free markets and human dignity reinforce rather than undermine each other. Acton’s contribution is to make the case, against a culture that often treats freedom and virtue as rivals, that each depends on the other.
