While political leaders and governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, #apartheid and now,

Towards post-growth policymaking: Barriers and enablers for wellbeing economy and Doughnut economics government initiatives
Providing wellbeing for all while safeguarding planetary boundaries may require governments to pursue post-growth policies. To understand how post-growth policymaking can be fostered, we examine wellbeing economy and Doughnut economics government initiatives across governance scales in Europe, New Zealand, and Canada. To identify political dimensions of barriers and enablers as well as priorities for future action, we apply a framework that distinguishes polity, politics, and policy to analyze …

A new Gallup survey of Trump’s first six months in office finds Trump with a 37% approval rating among adults
-- a new low across all pollsters
-- and losing ground on all issues.
Strikingly, Gallup finds that just 38% of Americans approve of how Trump is handling immigration,
and 37% approve of his job on the economy
— the two issues that probably won him the 2024 election.
Trump has lost double digits on handling the federal budget and 6 points on trade…

His choice not to admit that and speak against that, and worse, to act like it doesn’t exist, is a further insult and will not help to get BC/Canadians to resume visits.

Governance, productivity and economic development
This paper explores the interplay between transfer policies, R\&D, corruption, and economic development using a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents and a government. The government collects taxes, redistributes fiscal revenues, and undertakes public investment (in R\&D, infrastructure, etc.). Corruption is modeled as a fraction of tax revenues that is siphoned off and removed from the economy. We first establish the existence of a political-economic equilibrium. Then, using an a…

We’re witnessing unprecedented attempts to bully academic institutions with the administration’s ideological aims.
These attempts challenge long-standing norms of academic freedom
—that is, the ability of a teacher or researcher in higher education to investigate and discuss subjects without fear of political interference.
Our elected officials should stand up for scientific research and those who produce it in the face of politically motivated attacks.
But public a…

Apathy Over Attacks on Higher Education Needs to Change
If Americans don’t fight back against efforts to dismantle higher education, the U.S. will lose lifesaving medical research, innovation that spurs our economy and the ability to freely study science and society
