Forthcoming

How to Fix the United States is a practical examination of the ideas, institutions, and incentives that have moved the country away from the Enlightenment principles of its founding. Written in the same spirit as Fuel for Thought, it treats the major problems of American political and cultural life as solvable—if approached with clear thinking and consistent principles.

The book covers the political system, the administrative state, the mixed economy, education, individual rights, the welfare state, the justice system, culture and the battle of ideas, foreign policy, and the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence.

Inside you’ll find:

• Clear diagnoses of how key institutions drifted from their proper purpose
• Analysis of the root ideas and incentives that sustain the current problems
• Concrete proposals aimed at restoring limited government and individual rights
• Attention to how destructive ideas spread—and how better ones can compete
• Practical structure: problem, causes, solutions, and responses to common objections

The goal is not another lament. It is a usable guide for readers who want to understand what went wrong and what a principled path forward would look like.
