Good Living
Cal Newport on Mission, Mastery, and Flourishing at Work
Jon Hersey December 23, 2021
I recently spoke with Cal Newport about living the “deep life,” how our standard operating procedures are diminishing our ability to do meaningful work and what to do about it, and about what he’s learned from heroes such as Lincoln and Socrates about building a better world.

Henry Kitchell Webster’s Life-Loving, Pro-Business Fiction
Dianne Durante December 22, 2021
Henry Kitchell Webster's novels have charming, intelligent characters who pursue their goals in unusual ways. They show that there’s no good reason “why a serious novel should not be a good story."

Louis Sullivan’s Idea by Tim Samuelson and Chris Ware
Timothy Sandefur December 16, 2021
Louis H. Sullivan's buildings are the remaining monuments to a genius who gave voice, as no artist had ever done before, to the distinctive achievement of the modern age: the skyscraper. Hopefully, books such as this will help ensure that this master builder is never forgotten.

Craig Biddle December 15, 2021

Politics & Rights
Sprinklegate and Europe’s Permission Society
Angelica Walker-Werth December 9, 2021
Europe's permission society is not only infantilizing, it hinders innovation and the creation of the best possible products.
Politics & Rights
The Tulip Won’t Bloom in London, Thanks to Rights-Violating Politicians
Thomas Walker-Werth December 8, 2021
Why should governments get to decide how cities should be developed? The very concept of “urban planning” has baked into it the idea that a central “planner” knows best; that individuals must not be trusted to act on their own judgment.

From the Editor, Winter 2021
Craig Biddle November 26, 2021
Welcome to the Winter 2021 issue of The Objective Standard. The articles in this, the sixty-fourth issue of the journal for people of reason, address a rich tapestry of ideas, values, heroes, and villains.
Philosophy
Reason vs. Mysticism: Truth and Consequences
Craig Biddle November 26, 2021
Reason or mysticism: These are our basic alternatives. One leads to knowledge, production, trade, prosperity, and social harmony. The other leads to ignorance, destruction, plunder, poverty, and unspeakable cruelty.

Leroy Anderson’s Joyful American Music
Betsy Speicher November 26, 2021
Many Leroy Anderson compositions, written more than half a century ago, have become an enduring part of both American concert and popular music. His works are joyful and have a distinctive American flavor.

Which Ayn Rand Novel to Read First
Jon Hersey November 26, 2021
Where in Rand’s corpus should a curious reader begin? As someone who’s read it all, I would say that, for most people, there’s no better place to start than with one of Rand’s major works of fiction—Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, We the Living, or Anthem—and I suspect Rand would agree.

Environmentalists Show Their Disregard for Human Life
Thomas Walker-Werth November 26, 2021
During October 2021, environmentalist “protesters” affiliated with the “Insulate Britain” movement twice blocked the M25, Britain’s busiest motorway. These show the anti-human morality that underlies the environmentalist movement.

Law of the Land, by Elmer Kelton
Timothy Sandefur November 26, 2021
One reason critics often ignored Elmer Kelton was that his novels celebrate the virtues of integrity, honor, hard work, and bravery, with none of the nihilism or mournfulness that mark other Western authors. “Critics don’t read a Western unless the book is contemptuous of its subject matter,” Kelton once said.

Clytze Sun November 26, 2021
If you like a romantic story with heartwarming friendships, thought-provoking questions, and a side of dark comedy, check out Lucifer. You might just become possessed by the devil himself.
