Key ideas

What this publication argues

  • Purple is presented as a different operating standard, not a midpoint between Red and Blue.
  • Statesmanship is defined through stewardship, contracts, measurement, and accountability.
  • Productive credit is distinguished from recurring dependence on policy issuance.
  • A twenty-five-year gold-discipline path and three practical compacts are proposed with safeguards against a new establishment.
