Organisations tend to become ends into preserving themselves in the short term, and then become ends into preserving the salaries and short term prospects of their officers. This is known as the “principal-agent problem”. ''It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depen...

The Catholic Church sex abuse scandals in Baltimore (and elsewhere) wasn’t really about gay priests or liberal priests. What it was actually about was the Catholic Church leadership in the Baltimore Archdiocese and many other jurisdictions failing to address the problem of sex abuse of minors for d...

Are there now, or have there been any Brethren, Mennonite or Amish communities in which the property and income was shared by all? I am thinking of the model as lived by the Hutterian Brethren as an example. No. That model is unique to the Hutterites and the "Christian Communities " commo...
