'A Daring Enterprise': Pragmatism, principles, and peace through prosperity - review

The core question is whether such an approach, blending pragmatism with stated principles, can gain traction in a polarized political environment. The next practical test will be whether any concrete policy initiatives emerge that reflect this framework.
