THE AMERICAN RESTORATION MANIFESTO
A Blueprint for Renewing the Promise of AmericaBy Dan SchwartzLength5h 28m
About this audiobook
The American Restoration Manifesto is a comprehensive, non-partisan policy blueprint that confronts America's most pressing challenges — from collapsed institutional trust and unsustainable debt to partisan gridlock and fraying social fabric — and proposes pragmatic, evidence-based solutions across twenty-seven areas of governance, including voting reform, healthcare, immigration, criminal justice, education, energy, and national security. Grounded in five founding principles — pragmatism over partisanship, accountability in all institutions, opportunity for all Americans, fiscal responsibility, and national unity — the manifesto argues that the divide between individual liberty and collective responsibility is a false choice, and that Americans of every political persuasion can find common ground in a restored democracy, a solvent government, and a renewed commitment to the promise that hard work and good citizenship still lead somewhere worth going.
