For democracies to be sustained, good economic policy is not enough. Trust is rebuilt through delivery that people can see and feel. That means rapid execution, clear communication, strong cross-sector coalitions, and local actors leading the work on the ground. www.linkedin.com/posts/highla...

The US’ security challenges are becoming only more complex, and policymakers are still figuring out how best to address them using the economic tools at their disposal. Yet one guiding principle is clear: a democratic government does not exist to enrich itself. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
