Trumponomics Inside the America First Plan to get our Economy Back on Track by Lawrence Kudlow, Stephen Moore and Arthur B.

The Hell of Good Intentions America's Foreign Policy Elite and the Decline of U.S. Primacy by Stephen M. Walt In 1992, the United States stood at the pinnacle of world power and Americans were confident that a new era of peace and prosperity was at hand.
