Here is a revealing research paper about the French Revolution which was first presented at the International European Conference of Keepers of the Flame in Paris, France, in August 2009. It is significant in looking at the economy in that it addresses some of the basic issues that we are dealing with today as well as revealing the strategies of the fallen ones then and now.
We see that the intellectual currents that were instrumental in what took place during the French Revolution are alive and active today. Our universities are permeated with the doctrines of scientific humanism and moral relativism and a profound lack of eternal absolutes. The clear lesson is that the realm of ideas is the most important arena for turning things in a positive direction, and spiritual work must support that effort.
