Overview
All economic frameworks imply a moral as well as a political economy. Moral political economies vary in time and place with implications for the values that dominate the thinking and practice of governments, firms, and citizens. The current moral political economic framework is failing. The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences has already begun the work of building a new framework by bringing together an interdisciplinary and intersectoral network. The new framework will build on contemporary understandings of human beliefs, interactions, and institutions to rethink models of the market and the state, mobilize the values that inspire action, facilitate new forms of sociability, and harness technology for the good of society. This project will contribute to reimagining capitalism and crafting its future.

Grants to this Grantee
for a new paradigm for utility wildfire safety in California
The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment’s mission is to produce breakthrough environmental knowledge and solutions that sustain people and planet today and for generations to come. This grant supports the institute’s ability to identify more effective utility wildfire safety solutions in California, which is critical to achieving both wildfire resilience and climate goals. (Substrategy: Wildfire)
for the Toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons project
Former secretary of state George Shultz’s Toward a World Free of Nuclear weapons project has renewed and catalyzed worldwide interest in reestablishing the vision of, and taking steps toward, significant reductions in global nuclear arsenals and their ultimate elimination. In the coming year, Secretary Shultz, renowned physicist Sidney Drell, and former Ambassador James Goodby plan to enlist the support of countries that have nuclear weapons capabilities and those that are potential nuclear weapon states to encourage step-by-step progress toward a reduction in the role of nuclear weapons worldwide. Such steps could include beginning joint aerial monitoring for nuclear weapons testing and developing methods to encourage active participation of the nine nuclear weapons states in accelerating disarmament.
for the Woods Institute Leopold Fellowship
This grant to the Woods Institute at Stanford University would provide communication training to outstanding scientists working in a broad range of environmental fields. The goal is to impart the skills necessary for scientists to translate their knowledge in non-academic settings in a manner that is understandable to decision makers, media, and the public.
