EDITORIAL: MICHAEL JOYCE
February 28, 2006
Michael Joyce, one of the people responsible for making conservatives the “dominant intellectual force” in America, was not always a popular philanthropist, writes the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal. Mr. Joyce, who died Friday, criticized such organizations as the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations as merely aiding a welfare state. He espoused helping people become self-sustaining members of society, an especially relevant point of debate among today’s conservatives, writes the Journal.
