"America's great universities are civilizational marvels, built up through a handful of constructive moments stretching from the founding of Harvard University in 1636 to the project of public science in the wake of World War II. But today, they have lost their unifying purpose, making them vulnerable to those who would dismember them. Any serious case for their revitalization must begin from the conviction that a genuine university must be more than the sum of its parts. The key to renewal lies in reviving the cultivation of practical wisdom, which has animated each great phase of the American university's development and will define its future."

"The Trump administration's demolition of USAID was unprecedented, but the agency it destroyed satisfied no one. Two problems plagued American foreign assistance: a tangled web of bureaucratic mandates that distracted from effective programming, and a statist orientation that misunderstood development as something to be planned rather than unleashed. The right reforms could make this America's startup moment in foreign aid."

"Today's free-speech debates tend to focus on its social utility. But John Milton and John Stuart Mill made a deeper case: that a regime of free discourse makes us into better people, cultivating the moral courage to weigh alternatives and choose well. In an age of shallow technocracy, recovering this first-person appeal is more urgent than ever."

"State-capacity reformers have rightly targeted the procedural barriers that make government inefficient. But they should not ignore the federal government's habit of imposing mandates on itself — from Buy American requirements to affirmative-action goals — that it would never impose on the private sector. Whatever their merits, these mandates deform the relationship between the public and the government and undermine American public administration."
