What works to shore up America’s strength in the world: pure military domination or using a Roosevelt idea: The Four Freedoms, including freedom from want? In this 2012 discussion with Roosevelt Institute Senior Fellow David Woolner, then-candidates Obama and Romney are mentioned but with Trump now in the driver’s seat, the ideas are more applicable today than ever. What has our primarily military approach really gotten us? What about the rule of law as an approach? Is there a better way to defeat terrorism and ensure our security? How can we re-establish America’s pre-eminence in the world? Woolner reveals what actually works. Hint: FDR’s approach is more applicable than ever in 2017. “The American Century” did not work, it’s time for Roosevelt’s “Century of the Common Man.”
