HOMEconomics

First Things has an important read on how to create a family-center economy in America today. Let’s just say the Cato Institute would not agree with their touting the policy planks proposed by the likes of Ramesh Ponnuru, Ross Douthat, and Reihan Salamsuch.

Here was the crescendo moment of the piece:

The conservative movement today seems weaker than at any time since Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater. There are no free-marketeers in the foxholes, and it is hard to find an economist of any stripe who does not believe that the government must provide some kind of economic stimulus and rescue the financial system.

But the present crisis also might present the conservative movement with the greatest opportunity it has had since Ronald Reagan took office.
