Beyond the Kingdom Within

Beyond the Kingdom Within gives language to a political exhaustion we all feel but rarely name. Not a partisan argument, but an orientation guide for a fractured public life, Beyond the Kingdom Within is, in essence, a pre-political memoir told through a series of short essays that examine authority, judgment, and restraint in American public life. It is an attempt to name why our public arguments keep failing—across institutions, culture, markets, and governance—and to offer a coherent architecture for thinking about power and responsibility under conditions of uncertainty.
