PSIA Seminar: Institutions for Future Generations

If we care about the future, we need a good sense of what justice towards our descendants requires. But we also need to design our institutions to give some voice to the interests of future people. The seminar will explore various institutional practical strategies available to try and avoid problematic short-termism in decision-making, and to promote a more long-term approach to politics. The seminar will draw on material from a forthcoming book from Oxford University Press jointly authored with Inigo Gonzalez.
