Acton Institute on Kuyper

First it was Althusius. Now the Acton Institute's latest newsletter features a brief piece on Abraham Kuyper, whom they view as being "in the liberal tradition." There is perhaps such a thing as a nonideological liberal who is simply attached to freedom, and in this sense Kuyper can plausibly be described as liberal. On the other hand, the Acton Institute is about considerably more than an attachment to freedom. To the extent this is true, Kuyper would certainly not approve of everything they are up to or even of their basic approach, which tends to extend the efficacy of the economic marketplace rather too far.
