The Progressive Work Ethic: What We Lost and How to Win It Back | Elizabeth Anderson
For centuries, the work ethic was used to justify inequality, but it also fueled a powerful movement for justice. In the final part of this series, Elizabeth Anderson and Dart Lindsley explore the progressive work ethic, a vision of labor rooted in dignity, equality, and shared prosperity. They trace how thinkers like Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, the Ricardian Socialists, and Karl Marx inspired reforms in education, labor rights, and social insurance, laying the foundation for social democracy. The conversation then turns to the neoliberal revival of the conservative work ethic, where leaders like Reagan and Thatcher redefined work...

Work Ethic's Dark Turn: The War on the Poor | Elizabeth Anderson
The work ethic began as a religious principle before evolving into an economic theory. But by the 18th and 19th centuries, it had taken on a new role: a justification for social inequality. Thinkers like Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill saw work as a path to dignity and opportunity, while economists like Thomas Malthus and Nassau Senior argued that keeping wages low and limiting aid would encourage self-reliance. This perspective had real consequences, especially during the Irish Potato Famine, when relief efforts were deliberately restricted under the belief that hardship would force people to work. In Part 2 of...

They were called “the couple of the century.” They made eleven films together. The term “paparazzi” was even coined for them! It’s the one and only Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The world could not get enough of “Liz & Dick” throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. Their tumultuous relationship that spanned thirteen years and two marriages—and lots of jewels and booze. A few weeks ago, we discussed Elizabeth’s infamous love triangle with Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Today we complete the trilogy with the great love of Elizabeth’s life (and her fifth husband), Richard Burton. *****

Eddie and Elizabeth had bonded over losing Mike Todd, Eddie’s best friend and Elizabeth’s husband, and fell into a whirlwind love affair. Now it’s 1959, and Eddie and Elizabeth are married. Was it worth all the drama? Today, many people know that Elizabeth Taylor famously had seven husbands—and, unbeknownst to Eddie at the time, he was only husband #4. Here’s the Eddie chapter in Elizabeth’s long and fascinating love life. ...

I can even worship God through church services that are televised through my computer or Zoom.But worshiping and loving God with other people on Sundays and during weekday services in person — knowing that I pray with and for others, that they pray for me, that our voices are lifted together as one — is more than I can...

These 30 minutes of silent prayer and meditation seem to be the perfect way to end the Mass and start the rest of our day.Last Tuesday during adoration, I finished praying my rosary, sat back in my pew and contemplated the Blessed Sacrament as my fingers absentmindedly toyed with the wooden beads of my rosary.I was, frankly, feeling a little out of sorts with prayers for my mother to...

And quite honestly, it’s inexplicable to me.I arrived around 7:45 a.m. so that I could pray before Mass began. My prayers usually entail a laundry list of things I want to ask God’s help with.But on Tuesday morning, I knelt, bowed my head and said “thank you” in the silence of my mind.

Why we need to go to church
When I first moved to Breckenridge, I didn’t know a soul, but I began regularly attending the Saturday evening mass at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. I was greeted by Barbara Rasmussen who always said “hello” and asked how I was doing.If I didn’t show up for a few weeks, she asked where I’d been the next time she saw me, which had the effect of giving me second thoughts before I skipped another Saturday evening Mass. It was also an important lifeline because I was going through a difficult depression during that first year.

If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be doing this, I would have laughed because I’ve never been a morning person.On a recent phone call, I told Mom I began going to the 8 a.m. Mass because Ken brought doughnuts from Daylight Donuts along with freshly made coffee.I’ll do just about anything for a chocolate covered doughnut or two.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. htt...

The question of suffering
The other day, I listened to Bishop Robert Barron and Alex O’Conner, host of the CosmicSkeptic and university student at Oxford, debate the existence of God.Eventually, the argument came to the question of suffering. This argument usually proceeds as: If God exists and allows suffering, he is uncaring or uninvolved in our lives, or God does not exist. In any of these instances, this God is not worthy of our interest, much less worship.The counterargument generally revolves around original sin, fallen man, therefore there is evil, and while God might permit evil to...

sometimes get mad at God. Not for something he has done but for something he has not done, which I, in my infinite wisdom, felt he should have. Of course, my wisdom is not infinite; it’s actually pretty limited. And God‘s wisdom is infinite, which means I often don’t understand things from his greater perspective.That doesn’t stop me from getting mad at God because I am human and was created with free will. And God, in his infinite wisdom, never wanted to deny me the freedom to make mistakes and learn or, more oft...

Why don’t more Americans find meaning in a relationship with God?
I believe the question we should ask is not why more Americans don’t believe in God or don’t go to church. God exists whether we acknowledge him or not. And we have created churches to suit every taste, from dance halls to living rooms.The real question is: Why don’t more Americans find personal meaning in a relationship with God?

How to get more out of reading the Bible
It got me thinking of my own approach to reading the Bible this year. I am reading the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, just two chapters a week over the course of the entire year.I got the idea when I received my Word on Fire Bible, which contains only the four Gospels but also a wealth of commentary and vibrant artwork related to every important passage so that commentary and artwork make up as many pages as the actual sacred text.I’ve discovered that this wealth of information has greatly ex...

The Sun Also Rises
“The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises. — Ecclesiastes 1:5”Last week, I watched the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean every morning, and I don’t know why I was surprised to discover that no two sunrises are alike.Some mornings it rose behind clouds, its arrival hidden until the very last moment when, suddenly, the sky was suffused with orange and pink until the smallest edge of fire overcame the clouds, which sat upon the ocean like a flotilla helpless to hold back such beauty.The...

One afternoon sitting at an outdoor café in Paris, I felt a bit sad, and so I paid my bill and headed across the square to the Louis Vuitton store and bought myself a purse.That purse sits on a shelf in my closet. Nowadays, I’d feel silly carrying it anywhere in Breckenridge. Thankfully, we live in a low-key town.

Small choices can lead to big changes during Lent
Last year I gave up wine for Lent again and each morning I wrote, I love being sober, in my gratitude journal. I’ll be honest, I felt silly writing this because I had had no intention of remaining sober once Lent was over.Then I realized that I meant what I was writing. I loved being sober.

How to Choose Your Word of the Year
I had not given much thought to the idea of a word for the year. It was more of a musing I had after listening to a podcast on that topic at the beginning of January.So as I drove to work, I considered what word to choose. I wanted something inspiring or aspirational, and so I tinkered with the word “finish,” as in, I want to finish writing the mystery that is two-thirds done and has remained so for the past 10 years.Then I thought, no, let’s go bigger.

Grace for Tough Times
The definition of grace is “unmerited favor.” Prosperity preachers say it’s akin to winning the lottery. But I’d like to suggest a more sustaining definition taken from the words of Jesus, himself:“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” — Matthew 11:28-30I understand now that grace is God’s extended hand of...
