About This Book

A series of essays offers a robust account of contemporary national concerns, blending foreign policy arguments about governance of weaker territories and the pitfalls of multilateral control with domestic prescriptions for political and economic reform. The author critiques localist, constituency-driven politics and defends progressive measures, examines rural life and pioneering attitudes, and treats trade policy as a moral as well as economic question. The pieces argue that decisive, principled state action and civic character are necessary to secure order, justice, and national advancement.
