Gary North ; Christian Reconstructionist ; Gary Kilgore North (born 1942) is an economic historian and publisher who prolifically writes on topics including economics, history, and Christian theology. North argues for the abolition of the fractional-reserve banking system and a * to the gold standard. He also opposes the US Department of Education and Council on Higher Education Accreditation, claiming it is a cartel and the group has, in part, caused higher education to become uniformly secular, liberal, and mediocre: raising the cost of entry. He is the founder of the publishing firm Institute for Christian Economics (ICE). The company reportedly got its start with a bequest from an anonymous benefactor. North never received a salary or book royalties for the 25 years of its existence. At North's request, the board disbanded the ICE in 2001. The assets were transferred to Dominion Educational Ministries, Inc., a non-profit organization that operates Christian day care centers. North is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America. R.J. Rushdoony, one of the founders of Christian Reconstructionism, was North's father-in-law, and North is a Christian Reconstructionist. The Institute for Christian Economics published many Christian Reconstructionist books online. Christian Reconstructionists are also presuppositionalists in their approach to Christian apologetics as taught by the Calvinist philosopher Cornelius Van Til, and oppose natural law theory as a basis for civil law order.
