Volume XXXIX
In this volume:
Welcome to the Pragmatic Papers update! Take a look around our website overhaul.
Starting this volume, we are following the midterm prospects of several states, the first being Iowa. Learn more about how money works in our pieces about global minimum tax and Dark Money. Dive into science and technology with our report on electronic federal ID and the Artemis space programs.
Coming up on March 28th are No Kings Protests all around the country. This movement has generated some of the largest protests in our history, and this one may well be added to the list. We will be watching these protests closely as citizens express their First Amendment rights.
