Planet Pragmatism: The New Path to Prosperity

by Mark C. Coleman

Planet Pragmatism is a bold, hopeful manifesto for a better future. In his fourth book, Mark Coleman—known for his clear-eyed insight and practical wisdom—offers a playbook for principled prosperity in the face of environmental crisis. With a focus on turning past mistakes into future opportunities, he outlines a grounded path forward rooted in what he calls “common sense for the common good.” Part vision, part action plan, Planet Pragmatism is essential reading for anyone ready to rethink progress and embrace “sustainable” change.

"To evolve as a society and as a global economy that enables prosperity for all people, we must be willing to learn from the past, be pragmatic in the present, and protect the promise of our collective futures."
