  3. The Difference One Can Make (Monograph)
    Summary: Character saves lives, as the story of Nicholas Winton teaches us. It also defines each one of us as a person and in the process, shapes entire nations and determines their course. This is why the Mackinac Center for Public Policy has devoted talent and resources to the character issue. Though much of our work focuses on specific public policy issues, we know that good policy ultimately derives from good character. That’s another way of saying that we shouldn’t expect government to be any better than the people it reflects. We hope that these two essays will help spark a revival of interest in the critical role that character plays in a free society.

  4. Restoring Our Heritage of Property Rights
    Summary: America’s Founders created a system of government designed to protect property rights. The Founders were influenced by the 17th century philosopher John Locke, who held that everyone who labored had a natural right to property. Property rights, he wrote, reward effort and reduce conflict. Preserving “lives, liberties, and estates” is “the great and chief end” of government.

    Summary: This paper summarizes the comments offered by Dr. George Clowes and Dr. Jay P. Greene on my essay "Forging Consensus: Can the School Choice Community Come Together on an Explicit Goal and a Plan for Achieving It," as well as providing my responses to those comments.[1] Though it was written shortly after the comments were submitted, its release was deferred until permission to publish them was received.

  9. Government, Poverty and Self-Reliance: Wisdom From 19th Century Presidents
    Summary: This address was given at Grove City College's Inaugural Conference of the Center for Vision & Values in Grove City, Pennsylvania on April 4, 2005.

    "What a pleasure it is to speak to an audience of students and others at the college where I myself was once a student and indeed, from which I actually graduated 30 years ago — in fulfillment of my mother’s hopes but in spite of her expectations! These hallowed halls have inspired many young minds to do great things, and I expect that (the new Center for Vision & Values) will add significantly to that sterling reputation. I am honored to be a small part of its inaugural conference."
