Ep. 201 - My guest this week is Emily Otteson, an incredibly talented artist, songwriter, and entertainer from Nashville, TN.  Her voice is unique, almost angelic at times and her choice of melodic improvisations make her stand out and allow her to claim her own place in a town known for great singers. Her laugh is contagious and her personality shines through whether she's singing or connecting with her audience.  Emily started singing in church at the age of 12, started singing in coffee shops at 18, started singing in bars at 21, and eventually moved to Nashville, TN in 2016 to continue her musical pursuits. In 2017, Emily sang her original song “Wild Boy” on the Grand Ole Opry stage for Reba McEntire and released her first single “I Baked You a Pie” in 2018. Since then, she has released two other EPs, toured the country, and plans to release her next single “Rio Grande” this year followed by an album.  Join Emily and I as we talk about her rising music career, living in Nashville, her creative musings and her slightly silly nature which adds levity and good vibes to wherever she goes. She also sings her latest song "Rio Grande" live! You don't want to miss this episode! 

Dr. James (Jim) R. Otteson is the John T. Ryan Jr. Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Notre Dame and a senior scholar at The Fund for American Studies. As a renowned political economist, he specializes in business ethics, political economy, the history of economic thought, and eighteenth-century moral philosophy.

You have heard of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each is a natural human weakness that impedes happiness. In addition to these vices, however, there are economic sins as well. And they, too, wreak havoc on our lives and in society. They can seem intuitively compelling, yet they lead to waste, loss, and forgone prosperity. James Otteson, the John T. Ryan Professor of Business Ethics at the University of Notre Dame, is the author of Seven Deadly Economic Sins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxZ8_rxEbyI In this thoughtful and compelling book, James Otteson tells the story of seven central economic fallacies. He explains why believing in these fallacies leads to mistakes and loss, and how to avoid costly errors. This, ultimately, enables us to live in peace and prosperity. Today, on the podcast, we discuss: What economists agree about Why wealth creation is positive-sum, not zero-sum How market economies have enabled more prosperity than any other system of economics Why business can be moral and honorable If you want a conversation about economics, philosophy, and how nations prosper… tune in now! Table of contentsFrom Philosophy to EconomicsTeaching Business EthicsWho is James Otteson's Seven Deadly Economic Sins For? Is Wealth a Zero Sum?The Morality of BusinessAbout James OttesonOtteson at Notre DameBook A Strategy Call From Philosophy to Economics In the blink of an eye, James Otteson found his path changed from medicine to philosophy, thanks to a required college course. [7:40] “I thought if you went to college, you should either become a medical doctor or a lawyer. I thought those were the two things you became. So I was going to be a medical doctor, and I just happened to take a course that I was required to take, that was taught by a Classics professor… It led me into the great books program at Notre Dame.” He notes that when he was in grad school in Chicago, one of his philosophical heroes was David Hume. In particular, he wanted to write his thesis on Hume's moral theory. His research eventually led him to Adam Smith and his book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, which was a pivotal moment in Otteson's career and became the new subject of his dissertation. What he discovered was that very few people had really written on or responded to Smith's book, and Otteson viewed it as an untapped well. It was Smith's ideology on morals that sparked Otteson's initial interest in the economy and politics. Teaching Business Ethics After teaching courses on the history of economic thought for some time, Otteson was asked to teach a course on business ethics. When working on the course and how he would approach it, Otteson learned there was very little consensus on how a business ethics course ought to go.  [11:41] “I thought it might be more interesting and maybe more productive, if instead of just looking at all the ways that business could go wrong, instead turning it around a little bit and asking: “Is there some kind of moral purpose that a life in business could actually serve?”  By reframing the class slightly, he could have students think through whether it is possible to be fully engaged in a business and also be a virtuous person.  Who is James Otteson's Seven Deadly Economic Sins For?  James Otteson's research heavily influenced his latest book, Seven Deadly Economic Sins. The book was written with an intelligent audience in mind, specifically, those who are not economists yet are interested in working well within the existing economy.  [14:10] “We all have our opinions about politics. But we also, many of us, have very strong opinions about economic matters even though, curiously, many of us have not studied economics.” So while everyone may have an opinion about something like minimum wage, not everyone has read the academic literature on the topic. And in fairness, as Otteson shares,

There is no shortage of headlines pointing to another powerful corporation run amok or the consumer base being manipulated. These types of issues have cast a significant shadow on the legitimacy and purpose of business, even the possibility of a good or moral business. This lecture from James Otteson aims to present how a renewed vision of the interconnectedness of morality and prosperity is key to building and sustaining a properly functioning society. Honorable and life-giving business may actually be integral to creating social institutions that produce meaningful value.James Otteson earned his bachelor of arts degree from the Program of Liberal Studies at the University of Notre Dame in 1990. After completing his undergraduate degree, he attended the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, earning an M.A. in philosophy in 1992. He then joined the philosophy department at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in 1997.He has held visiting scholar positions at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center, then located at Bowling Green State University; at the Centre for the Study of Scottish Philosophy, then located at the University of Aberdeen; at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities at the University of Edinburgh; in the economics and philosophy departments at the University of Missouri-St. Louis; and in the government department at Georgetown University. He has also taught in the economics department at New York University.Otteson lectures widely on Adam Smith, classical liberalism, political economy, business ethics, and related issues, including for The Fund for American Studies, the Adam Smith Society, the Acton Institute, the Institute for Humane Studies, and the Tikvah Fund.Subscribe to our podcastsRegister Now for Business Matters 2023Apply Now for Acton University 2023 (Early Bird Pricing) Hosted on Acast.

It’s easy to overlook since homelessness doesn’t always look the way we think it should. Rhonda and Julie discuss the many hidden factors that put people at risk for homelessness, why the housing situation in Greater Minnesota is at a critical point, and what we can do to help. The post Ep. 19: Homelessness in rural MN, with Rhonda Otteson first appeared on Center for Rural Policy and Development.

Is business inherently selfish? Is it a profession that requires you to atone for it like a sin? Or instead, is it possible to approach business in a way that glorifies God and benefits both us and the world? Dr. Jim Otteson, a business ethics professor at the University of Notre Dame, has thought a lot about these questions and shares with us a refreshing take on the ethics of enterprise. Taking into account the dignity of all human beings, honorable business is actually one of the best ways we can use our God-given gifts well and spread the joy of the Gospel.

Before Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations and made his name as an economist, he wrote The Theory of Moral Sentiments, a work of moral philosophy. For Smith, these two subjects informed each other in crucial ways. Economics was not always a siloed discipline, as we often see it today. In this week's episode, Ari discusses moral philosophy and economics with James Otteson, in particular the interdisciplinary nature of these subjects. Is capitalism a moral system? How much should we take morality into consideration when making economic decisions? James R. Otteson, the John T.

One of the great American phenomena is the enmeshment of religion and politics.   That relationship is never more present than in the Book of Mormon belt where being Republican is a matter of faithfulness.  From Southern Alberta down to Arizona being Mormon means listening to Fox news like its a sermon;  supporting the NRA like its a mission and loving the Constitution like its scripture.   For Steve Otteson, this was the ideological food that he grew up with.   A Mormon boy of pioneer stock who was raised simultaneously without much space between the politics of his region and the religion of his ancestors.    And then one day it all came crashing down;  both his political and religious certainties.

Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared in First Things, Public Discourse, the University Bookman, the Algemeiner, and the Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee of Tradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought. The Rabbi joins Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss leadership training education, how candidates are vetted and eventually selected, and what constitutes the main focus of the seminars and lectures the fellows attend.Rabbi Gottlieb sees the personal interview as a primary factor, over the grades and reports from the student's teachers, as well as the essays the applicants submit.He illustrates how hobbies and interests are in many ways an indicator of the thought leader that Tikvah is eager to engage.Rabbi Gottlieb distinguishes between the program geared for students who are moderately affiliated with the traditional Jewish community (Maimonides Scholars) and the program serving products of predominantly (but not exclusively) Orthodox day schools (Tikvah Scholars).The Rabbis discuss the balance between general literacy and skills in reading and parsing Jewish texts, and the importance of staffing the leadership seminars with passionate, gifted instructors.Rabbi Gotttlieb describes the incredible effect resulting from the hiring of persons like the eminent American philosopher and political economist Professor James R. Otteson, who not only opened the Tikvah students’ eyes to the important theories that form the basis of classical liberal political order, he illustrated how this technically underdetermined dynamic is at play in Klal Yisroel’s innate understanding of who the Gadolei HaDor are.When questioned by Rabbi Kivelevitz as to why Tikvah has not attempted to cull their young potential from completely Charedi schools, where the boys (and, separately, young women) have the advantage of strong text proficiency and analysis, Rabbi Gottlieb pointed to Tikvah's role in Eretz Yisroel in catering programs and Torah journals to the Charedi world, and its discovery and cultivation of Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, a student of Rav Asher Weiss, who now serves as head of Tikvah's Haredi Israel division.Rabbi Gottlieb speaks about Tikvah's connections to R' Aharon Kotler, the CEO of Bais Medrash Gevohah, but admits that there is more work to be done in reaching those special Talmidim in the Chasidish and Litvisha yeshivos, who could perhaps through the exposure to greater Western thought take their place as an accepted Gadol ready to tackle the formidable challenges that lay ahead for our people.Listen for the championing of some of the ideas of Pope John Paul II concerning the dignity of the human person, and the significance of Theology in applying and advocating for religious concepts in a modern world. There is also a casual reference to Mark Twain, and an oblique shadow of Phillip Roth.

James Otteson is the author of an excellent new book: Honorable Business: A Framework for Business in a Just and Humane Society. He discusses the purpose of business, outlines a sound approach to business ethics, and contends that contrary to popular prejudice, business can play an important role in building a just and humane society. So I ask him, as devil's advocate: can there be a genuine code of business ethics in a market economy? Wouldn't the most unscrupulous earn the highest profits and displace more ethical firms? And as for business firms and "treating people the right way," as Otteson titles one of his chapters, what about businesses whose closures decimate a whole town? Plenty to discuss in this important episode!

On this episode of Acton Line, Trey Dimsdale, director of program outreach at Acton Institute, sits down with Andrew Graham, attorney at First Liberty Institute, a public interest law firm. Trey and Andrew talk about a current case threatening Bladensburg World War I Memorial in Maryland, known as the Peace Cross. The land on which the cross stands was first privately owned by American Legion and the memorial was erected with privately raised funds. Now the land belongs to the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission., and the U.S. Court of Appeals has declared the cross unconstitutional. First Liberty is now working on behalf of American Legion and a court ruling is expected in June. In the second segment, executive producer of Acton Line, John Couretas, speaks with author and political economist, James R. Otteson about his new book, "Honorable Business," addressing objections commonly raised against business and commercial society as well as proposing a framework for business in a just society.

Transcript:Hi! Welcome to this week’s training. I’m Sherri Wilson, an educator, strategist, and introverted entrepreneur that empowers other introverted entrepreneurs the art of persuasion and influence so you can communicate your message clearly and confidently.This week we’re going to talk about eye contact. Eye contact is one of those really weird things. It’s awkward to begin with. How much is too much? How much is too little. If it’s too much, people find you too intense. Too little and you’re shifty. You can literally go from comfortable to creepy in seconds!One U.K. organization, Right to Remain, has claimed that refugee applicants have been refused because they didn’t make eye contact during interviews. Why? Because the brain naturally assumes a person is lying. The reality is that people often give too more eye contact when lying so you think they’re not lying!On top of just the plain awkwardness of the entire thing, people have varying levels of comfortable eye contact. Culture, psychopathy, PTSD, shyness, social anxiety, autism, and another host of things can really complicate the matter. Eye contact is an intimate thing and is a powerful source of social and emotional information. The Bible says that the eyes are the window into the soul. There’s much truth in that. For some, intimacy is a very uncomfortable thing, especially with strangers. I use a lot of eye contact but sitting and staring into someone’s eyes is too much! I can last about 15 seconds. Part of it is my personality and I’m guarded. In spite of how awkward eye contact can be, it’s one of the most important forms of nonverbal communication. Looking someone in the eyes during conversation is KEY to connecting socially, professionally, and romantically both on a conscious and subconscious level. Research also suggests eye contact improves learning. James P. Otteson conducted a study in 1980 of young students and their teachers. They found that students whose teachers made eye contact with them during lectures were able to recall verbal material better after class. In another review of the effects of eye contact on our behavior and thinking skills, researchers discovered that a direct gaze makes the other person feel that what you’re telling them is important for him or her personally. Eye contact also boost memory and improve social interactions if it’s wanted. On the other side of that is eye contact can heighten perceived aggression if too much is used when confronting or challenging someone. I found this interesting because when I’ve had to confront others, I often look away and always thought it was weakness. Now I realize it’s instinct. A number of emotional states can make too much eye contact uncomfortable for others such as shyness, embarrassment, or guilt. It’s important to watch for nonverbal cues such as the other person returning your gaze, lighting up, talking more, and relaxing. If you notice a person shying away, acting nervous, looking annoyed, or having trouble concentrating, you need to lessen the amount of eye contact. Most are comfortable with 2/3 of the convo including eye contact and actually like you better. Make sure that in professional situations and with new contacts that you keep your gaze in the eye/nose area. Mouth and down is intrusive and reserved for intimate couples. Research in Japan suggests that eye contact uses the same mental resources used for complex tasks requiring lots of mental capacity. Trying to maintain eye contact can impede your reasoning, which is why some (including myself) will look away when they’re thinking. Some even scowl. Take note of that so you don’t think the other person is being shifty and let the other person know that you’re thinking so he or she doesn’t think you’re shifty! This is especially important for my S and C personalities. Saying the right thing and using the right words is very important for you; therefore, looking away to think is common. And, please, do not look above or behind people as they’re talking! You’re telling them that they are not important enough to listen to. Newborns pay more attention to faces with direct eye gazing than people who are looking off into the distance like the chick in “Gone With the Wind” looking off in the distance for her beau to come back from war. What If I’m Not Good at Eye Contact? I have good and bad news for you. The cerebellum part of our brain controls our ability to hone in on an object. You know the phrase, “If looks could kill…”? Well, there’s more truth in there than we thought. Our need to hunt prey in the good ole days required us to be able to lock in and focus on an object. Today, this is mostly used in sports like, “Keep your eyes on the ball.” The reality is that focusing your gaze is voluntary and gets better with practice. Even those who suffer from neurological disorders are able to practice and improve because the brain is adaptable and changes. This means that you have to practice. And don’t think too much about eye contact because you’ll be more self-conscious and the creepy factor or the shifty factor will come in! Unfortunately, our social media culture has really impaired good ole fashioned eye contact because most of us have our faces in our phones. The lack of movement (keeping our eye on the ball) and eye-to-eye connections is causing the cerebellum to atrophy and impair its function. It’s important to make an effort to socialize with others and look them in the eye. There’s a lot of evidence out there, too, that face-to-face human connection is tied to happiness, well-being, and living longer. I don’t have any blog posts to further this training. However, the main thing I’d suggest is to practice, practice, practice. It’s just like I’ve said in past trainings that I had to learn to smile and it’s second nature now even with strangers. Same with eye contact. The more you do it, the less weird it is.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Josh Reed and Christa Otteson of the Goat Ridge Brewery in New London. Their passion for beer and vision for creating a positive space in our community has led them to expand and grow the brewery to what it is today!    Visit https://www.goatridgebrewing.com/ for more information.

Royleane Otteson joins me to discuss how to be a faithful witness to another's spiritual journey.  Using the Advent reading of Elizabeth and Zechariah as a story of community witness,  we unpack what friendship means to those of us who have embarked on our own journeys of spiritual seeking.

Philosopher Jim Otteson and I discuss his book Actual Ethics (Cambridge University Press), which advances a vigorous moral defense of the classical liberal, or libertarian, political tradition. We also discuss the claims of Peter Singer, who claims it is morally obligatory on each of us to give substantial aid to peoples overseas.

Faith change or Impasse is often met with a resistance to our early life stories of the Divine.    In this Lent series episode #3 Katie Hagen and Steve Otteson talk about rediscovering Jesus, finding new stories of the Christ and their journey to discern the theologies that support their awakenings.

In February of 2017, Officer Ottesen responded to a local clinic for a welfare check. The clinic reported that a 19 year old female had wandered into the clinic and was hanging out in the lobby. She was not properly dressed for the cold weather and had nowhere to go. When Officer Ottesen arrived he learned the woman was homeless, and had some developmental disabilities.  She had been living with her mother but they were kicked out of their apartment and her mother was now in a nursing home. The woman could not stay with her mother at the nursing home and family that she had in the area would not take her in. Officer Ottesen called local resources to see if he could find her a place to stay but had no success. The temperatures were low and instead of leaving her on her own to roam from place to place looking for shelter, Officer Otteson paid for a two night stay at a local hotel with his own money.  He also provided her with phone numbers to resources that could possibly assist her. Officer Ottesen went above and beyond in assisting this young lady and this is typical of the good work he does on a daily basis.

On Thursday, November 12, Wake Forest Professor James Otteson gave a spirited defense of capitalism, but argued that we should take seriously some of the moral concerns that lead people to embrace socialism. Otteson conceded that most people today do not embrace full-blown socialism, but he did say that many support “socialist-inclined” policy, which advocates centralized economic decision making over individual autonomy and choice. Professor Otteson began by emphasizing the enormous diversity of human preferences, and the complexity of information government agents would need to gather and process in order to understand how to satisfy their preferences. This is especially true, he argued, because our preferences are often opaque even to ourselves: individual preferences change as new experiences occur and new technology creates new kinds of goods, resources, and opportunities. To demonstrate how powerful decentralized decision-making is at increasing human welfare through market exchange, Otteson presented data that correlates economic freedom and human prosperity. The graphs suggested that across nearly all countries for which we have data, there is a strong positive correlation between economic freedom and length of life, quality of life, and many other things people care about. Finally, Professor Otteson argued that although capitalism inevitably produces economic inequality – because people have different abilities and ambitions, and to some extent simply because of luck – the benefits it produces tend to be so large that the poor are better off in capitalist countries than they are in socialist countries. Thus, Otteson concluded, sometimes we have to choose between reducing inequality and alleviating poverty, and in these cases, he argued, the answer is clear: poverty, not inequality, is the source of most human misery. Some in the audience questioned whether we should compare these theories in their most extreme form. Otteson answered that while most people do not sit on the extreme ends of socialist and capitalist spectrum, it’s worth comparing the moral values and empirical consequences of each system of political economy.

When she works hard at Magic she feels like she has accomplished a great goal, and it inspires her to push her skill further. Early Challenge When Whitney first started playing she found herself wrapped up in the board’s current state. Looking ahead to future turns was a skill that took time for her to develop. She talked to players that were better than her about her deck and sideboard, then studied the choices they made when they played. When she realized that they were playing with future turns in mind she made the mental shift to incorporate that practice into her own play style. Level Up Moment Winning two local Radcon tournaments for two consecutive years helped Whitney believe she could progress beyond just playing Friday Night Magic. She went to GP Seattle with the mindset to just have fun with Legacy, but she entered some Standard side events and did really well. These three moments helped her decide to buckle down and reassess how serious she was going to take her progression. Proudest Magic Moment The month of hardcore preparation that went into her making Day 2 at GP Oakland stands out as Whitney's proudest moment. How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event GP Oakland: Whitney completely immersed herself in magic a whole month before the tournament. She got a Magic Online account and played at least one League every night, basically playing 5 rounds of Magic a day. She watched Magic streams, read articles and deck lists, and talked to players that were better than her to help her analyze what she needed to do. Thoughts On Setting Goals in Magic Whitney wanted to set a goal that was attainable for her; she didn't want to set the bar for her so high that she was constantly disappointed. This led her to setting a goal that was realistic, but would be a real challenge to obtain. How to Choose a Standard Deck For GP Oakland, Whitney played around with several decks and landed on an Abzan deck. She thought about what decks would be at the tournament and then worked, especially on her sideboard, to alter her deck in a way that it could exploit other decks at the tournament. Biggest Mistake Players Make A common mistake Whitney sees players making is the way they view their sideboards. She has a written a sideboard guide to help her make decisions in heated match ups instead of just making choices on the fly. Putting a lot of weight into your sideboard, and viewing your deck as a whole 75 instead of 60 and 15 is something she believes helps strengthen how you play your deck. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Read through primers online and apply that information when you're looking at the set. Learning how to take advice from better players and apply it in the moment can be key. Draft: Being able to recognize when a card is good is something that takes putting in a lot of reps, talking to other players at your store, and trying to learn how to read other's signals. What's in Your Tournament Bag Gum Granola & Crackers Pen & Paper Extra Sleeves What Does a Playtest for You Look Like? Whitney finds that she learns the most from match ups she loses. Taking a loss makes her sit down and talk out what she could have done differently with her opponent. She has friends that will sit next to her in matches and help point out the mistakes she makes mid-game, which helps her think out decisions in the heat of play. Final Wisdom Have fun! Whitney knows it’s easy to get wrapped up in Magic’s serious aspects, but at the end of the day you should leave a tournament feeling like you had a great time and a great experience.

James Otteson of Wake Forest University talks to EconTalk host Russ Roberts about his new book, The End of Socialism. Otteson argues that socialism (including what he calls the "socialist inclination") is morally and practically inferior to capitalism. Otteson contrasts socialism and capitalism through the views of G. A. Cohen and Adam Smith. Otteson emphasizes the importance of moral agency and respect for the individual in his defense of capitalism. The conversation also includes a discussion of the deep appeal of the tenets of socialism such as equality and the impulse for top-down planning.

James Otteson of Yeshiva University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about Adam Smith. The conversation begins with a brief sketch of David Hume and his influence on Smith and then turns to the so-called Adam Smith problem--the author of The Wealth of Nations appears to have a different take on human nature than the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Smith worked on both books throughout his life, yet their perspectives seem so different. Otteson argues that the books focus on social behavior and the institutions that sustain that behavior--market transactions in The Wealth of Nations and moral behavior in The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Both books use the idea of emergent order to explain the evolution of both kinds of social behavior and social institutions. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what Smith got right and wrong.
