Michael Novak and my daughter Lizzie from the years when I would teach with Michael a popular course on ”The 20th Catholic Intellectual Renaissance” (you know, that impoverished life) @CRPakaluk @AEI

I’m confident no one else has anything like this in their office. These, the bronzed baby shoes of Michael Novak. A gift of his family.
(Maybe they thought, “he can maybe fill these at least” 😂)

Lovely interview with Timothy Busch of @NapaInstitute by @capitalresearch discussing influence of @MichaelNovakRIP:

This thread. 👇
Thank you @djrothkopf for so well articulating my personal struggles.
My father @mnovak9933 was ambassador to UN Human Rights Commission & our heritage is Slovak. Feels like letting down so much on top of horrific present day.

“Michael Novak’s posthumous challenge to market-skeptic conservatives is to demonstrate how they reconcile their economic views with the broad economic ideal that emerged from the American founding” ⁦@mnovak9933⁩ https://t.co/wQerwfP8rE

[Samuel Gregg @DrSamuelGregg]

“Novak’s book . . . also challenged many free-marketers to look beyond their comfort zone of the utility calculus and to provide a richer normative case for economic freedom.” ⁦@mnovak9933⁩ ⁦@AEI⁩ ⁦@realclearpolicy⁩ https://t.co/wQerwfP8rE

Today is the 5th anniversary of Michael Novak’s death, and 2022 is the 40th anniversary of his magnus opus “The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism.” In @NRO @NRCapMatters today, I reflect on @mnovak9933’s importance for America’s intra-conservative debates

Today would have been Michael’s #birthday. It’s also Thursday. So some #throwback photos in his honor with his late wife @LaubNovakArt too.
Have a Manhattan cocktail 🥃 to cheers him tonight; his recipe in photo album.

“To secure the rights of the person, give primacy to community. To build a genuinely human community, give primacy to the person.”

[Michael Feuz @MikeFeuz]

The modern @firstthingsmag adherents, integralists, and common gooders would do well to take heed of the late @mnovak9933 words here.

Therouxs lived directly across from us growing up.
Justin actually saved me during a dog attack when we were kids; Phyllis talked writing/books w/me and helped inspire me (along w/dad @mnovak9933) to become writer.
Beautiful tribute to moms (@LaubNovakArt)...💙@EricSull @esquire
