[gep-ed] Aspen Summer Fellowship

[Wil Burns]

The Aspen Tech Policy Hub, a West Coast 
policy incubator training a new generation of tech policy entrepreneurs, 
jointly with the Aspen Institute's Energy and Environment 
Program
 are accepting applications for the 
Summer 2022 Aspen Climate Cohort Fellowship.

The climate cohort of the Hub Fellowship is a 10-week, full-time, paid program 
that trains engineers, scientists, technologists, and business experts who 
already understand climate how better to apply their ideas to policy. One of 
the priority areas for this cohort is Carbon Dioxide Removal; the program is 
specially prioritizing applicants interested in innovative approaches to the 
process of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The first climate cohort is 
tentatively scheduled for June 2 to August 12, 2022. Admitted applicants 
receive an $18,000 stipend to enable their participation.



Applications are due February 28, 2022.



To tackle the critical energy, environmental, and climate change issues we 
face, we need a combination of smart policy and innovative technology. This 
fellowship aims to arm climate technologists with the tools they need to make 
the most of their ideas through policy.

Please share your ideas and spread the word with your networks. Apply 
now through February 28, or help spread 
the word! Any questions or comments can be directed to 
aspentechpolicy...@aspeninstitute.org.

[gep-ed] Publication of "Capitalism for All: Realizing its Liberal Promise"

[harrison]

SUNY Press   has published
Capitalism for All: Realizing its Liberal Promise by Neil E. Harrison and
John Mikler. 

 



 

Capitalism has lost its glamor. In just three decades since it "defeated" a
totalitarian Soviet Union, capitalism is today blamed for slowing growth, a
dangerously changing climate, inequality, social misery, and a rise in
nationalist populism. How did capitalism fall so far from grace? Capitalism
for All shows how, quite simply, the governments of the world's wealthiest
countries have forgotten capitalism's initial purpose. 

 

Capitalism was born out of a liberal philosophy that values the competition
of ideas and goods in the service of social progress while respecting the
individual and preventing excessive power. Yet, with the aid of governments,
giant corporations (or "MegaCorps") have usurped power, dominated markets,
and reduced competition. The result is not liberal capitalism but
"CorpoCapitalism." This is the belief that corporations are the best
architects of national economic growth and that therefore corporate
interests must be served, and that social wellbeing is the natural
consequence of economic growth. The evident failure of CorpoCapitalism to
serve the needs of the people is a cause of an unhappy populace seeking
radical political change while challenges like climate change continue to
race forward largely unchecked.

 

Climate change requires two major policy processes. To meet the necessarily
ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions demanded by the Paris
Agreement requires "climate innovation"-the development and diffusion of
technologies specifically designed to mitigate climate change. To meet the
many dangerous impacts of a changing climate requires social resilience.
Capitalism for All shows how CorpoCapitalism prevents both processes and how
a return to Liberal Capitalism would enable them.

*Trade and the Environment: The Search for Sustainable Solutions*

While interactions between trade and the environment are complex, pursuing
policy coherence is key to reversing degradation while leaving no one
behind. A core dilemma is ensuring stricter environmental rules do not
create competitive disadvantages, or negatively affect the least developed
countries.

The latest *Still Only One Earth* policy brief explores how recent
country-led initiatives on trade and environmental sustainability, trade
and plastics pollution, and fossil fuel subsidies, plus the ongoing talks
on fisheries subsidies, offer hope for breaking the years-long deadlock on
trade and the environment.
