  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

  • The Future of Free Enterprise by Jordan J. Ballor the Dilemma Of
    The Future of Free Enterprise By Jordan J. Ballor The dilemma of prediction and forecasting has been a hallmark of modern economic theory and practice. Is economics a purely descriptive science or do prescriptions attend to it, either implicitly or explicitly? Does the descriptive element of economics cover what has already happened, and to some extent what is currently occurring, or does it also involve making predictions about what will happen? And what are we to think of the status of economics as a science if it does not involve making claims that might be objectively falsifiable? No matter what one thinks of the answers to these questions, or the questions themselves, the biblical accounts show that the questions of the past, present, and future are intimately connected. Biblically speaking, the question “Where have you come from?” is linked with the question “Where are you going?” (see Gen. 16:8). In attempting to outline the possible futures of the economy in America, we must first take stock of where we are and where we have come from. This exercise will help temper the certainty which we may be tempted to have about the future of free enterprise in the United States, and it will likewise help clarify some of the critically important factors that will help determine the course of the domestic—and by extension the global—economy. As for where we are today, there seems little doubt that we in the midst of crisis, both with respect to the economy itself as well as to the broader intellectual and philosophical underpinnings of that economy.

Koch Professor of Economics McGraw School of Business Olivet Nazarene University One University Avenue Bourbonnais, Illinois, U.S.A. 60914-1002 [email protected] Abstract This paper seeks to explore the potential reasons for the antagonistic sentiments that are held by many Protestant evangelicals, in the United States, towards the European Union. The possible causal factors include the following: 1) The legacy of anti-internationalism among evangelicals, dating back to the debate over American membership in the League of Nations almost 100 years ago; 2) The level of attraction to the current wave of “populist” politics and economics; 3) The aversion of politically conservative American evangelicals to the perception of Europe as a “socialist’ continent; 4) The negative portrayal of the European Union, as an instrument of “globalism,” in widely held manifestations of American evangelical theology.
