Do Morals Matter

A concise yet penetrating analysis of how modern American presidents have--and have not--incorporated ethics into their foreign policy.Americans constantly make moral judgments about presidents and foreign policy. Unfortunately, many of these assessments are poorly thought through. In Do Morals Matter?, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. provides a concise yet penetrating analysis of the role of ethics in US foreign policy since Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency onward. Nye works through each presidency from FDR to Trump and scores their foreign policy on three ethical dimensions: their intentions, the means they used, and the consequences of their decisions. He also evaluates their leadership qualities, elaborating on which approaches work and which ones do not. Regardless of a president's policy preference, Nye shows that each one was not fully constrained by the structure of the system and actually had choices. Since we so often apply moral reasoning to foreign policy, Nye suggests how to do it better. Most importantly, he shows that presidents need to factor in both the political context and the availability of resources when deciding how to implement an ethical policy-especially in a future international system that presents not only great power competition from China and Russia, but a host of additional transnational threats.

'...highly recommended...' - Mehmet Akif Koç, Insight Turkey

'Analysing the ethics of US foreign policy under each presidential administration since 1945, Nye scores the policies of each presidency according to their intentions, the means they used and their consequences. He examines each president's leadership qualities and considers how US foreign policy might best address contemporary challenges such as great-power competi-tion and climate change.' - Survival: Global Politics and Strategy

'In times like these, it is important to appreciate the role that moral reasoning should play in foreign policy. This is especially true in a democracy, where sustaining global involvement requires support from citizens. Joe Nye is one of our foremost and engaging analysts of American diplomacy, and in this book he provides a clear-eyed guide for reengaging our moral compass.' - Walter Isaacson, Distinguished Fellow and Former CEO, Aspen Institute, and Professor of History, Tulane University

'From the doyen of US foreign policy thinkers, a powerful warning against domestic populist politics, which not only narrow our moral vision but defeat US purposes around the world.' - O.A. Westad, Yale University

'With characteristic insight and precision, Joseph Nye raises tough questions of how much ethics should shape a nation's foreign policy, provides a sweeping review of how past presidents have embraced or rejected ethical imperatives, and constructs a helpful scorecard for judging future presidents. This book takes on even greater significance as a growing number of nations-led by the U.S.-nakedly put self interest first.' - David Gergen, CNN Senior Political Analyst, and Founding Director, Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership

'In Do Morals Matter? Joseph S. Nye argues persuasively that in foreign policy, good intentions must be accompanied by the use of appropriate means that generate beneficial consequences. His astute analysis of American presidents since World War II demonstrates that 'contextual intelligence' is crucial for moral principles to yield good results.' - Robert O. Keohane, Princeton University

'A lucid, thoughtful and original examination of the role morality plays as American presidents shape their foreign policy. As Professor Nye shows convincingly in this highly readable book, leaders and citizens alike make assumptions, decisions and judgments which reflect their own views about what is good and bad. Yet again he has contributed much to our better understanding of international relations.' - Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Oxford

It’s a practical, affordable toilet paper that gets the job done well—best suited for those prioritizing value over luxury.

It strikes a decent balance between softness and strength—comfortable enough for regular use while still being durable and absorbent. Many users appreciate the large quantity (10,500 sheets total), making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for families or high-traffic households.

Great value, surprisingly soft, and lasts a long time
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 18), Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 18)
This Amazon Basics toilet paper is honestly much better than expected. The 2-ply material feels soft and comfortable while still being durable enough for everyday use. It strikes a nice balance between comfort and strength without feeling too thin. The roll count offers excellent value, especially for families or households that go through toilet paper quickly. The larger roll size means fewer roll changes, which is always a plus. I also appreciate that it doesn’t create excessive lint and works well without clogging issues. For a budget-friendly household essential, the quality is surprisingly solid and very consistent from roll to roll. Overall, this is a dependable and affordable option that performs just as well as many more expensive brands. Soft, practical, and a great value for the price. Highly recommended!

Solid
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
I think this is a great toilet paper as it is a fair price point and is long lasting but also soft not rugged. I have been buying the amazon brand now for some time they make solid paper products and it compares well to the big name brands like Charmin.

A Clean rear shouldn’t break the bank.
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
If you're on a budget but still want a reliable bathroom companion, look no further! This bathroom tissue strikes a good balance between strength and softness—it may not be the cloud of fluff that some might prefer, it's a decent swipe when you need to wipe. After 58 years of toilet tissue trials, my rear has developed quite the resilience, so I appreciate a roll that does the job without fuss. Plus, it plays nicely with our plumbing, avoiding troublesome clogs that can come from some of the plush options available. It’s a solid pick for those who know the importance of quality without breaking the bank!
