Pete describes himself as a capital P pragmatist (and a small D democrat) and offers us his take on this school of thought.

A conversation about rebuilding community and creating a moral economy. Catholic-flavored but ecumenical, kinda radical, lots of books mentioned. My friend Pete Davis and I direct the show.
