Why our next president must promote prosperity to make Americans safer
The Bush administration's singular pursuit of the so-called Freedom Agenda has undermined America's security interests in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and beyond. Now Nancy Soderberg and Brian Katulis make the highly controversial argument that America has everything to gain by going back to basics and focusing on increasing stability and access to education, medicine, and economic opportunity. America has never been less popular, yet has never needed the world more, for combating terrorism, for economic growth, for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. The Prosperity Agenda shows us how to make America safer by regaining global goodwill and having a greater positive effect on humankind.
