Volume XLI
Welcome back to the Pragmatic Papers.
We are excited to announce a new writing project set to launch on July 4th. Check out "Introducing the Third Founding" for more information. Domestically, understand the Trump administration's attack on natural rights and a path forward towards a democracy that works. Abroad, we have three articles. The first covers the election in Hungary with considerations towards Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History and the Last Man". In the Middle East, the quagmire grows. Finally, explore the current and future directions of the Xi's Han Dynasty.
