A. Hunter & C. Milofsky 
Pragmatic Liberalism 
Constructing a Civil Society

This book analyzes the problems of U.S. politics and public policy and proposes a solution rooted in a deep American consensus that often goes unrecognized. The authors critique three dominant ideological perspectives – conservative, radical, and liberal – and propose a fourth eclectic ‘outcomes’ perspective rooted in American pragmatism.
