We live through a strange paradox. Liberal democracy and the market economy produced the greatest expansion of prosperity in history — yet faith in both is fraying at once, pressed by authoritarianism, populism, and a sense that the economy works only for those at the top. The question behind Capitalism and Development: Steering Markets Toward […]

“With all the bad news on climate science and climate governance lately, how do you find hope to persevere?” In the past decade, I have been asked this question with increasing frequency in my climate governance lectures. It usually comes from a disillusioned student struggling to process new developments about climate science projections or climate […]
