A growing body of innovative scholarship offers promising strategies for sustainable development and a fairer globalization. Yet, these proposals have not been disseminated in a coordinated fashion.

MISSION
To highlight the best new thinking on a fairer globalization.
PHILOSOPHY
Building a fairer global economy starts with protecting fundamental freedoms, and moves toward maximizing human fulfillment, potential, and innovation. This process must be guided by an ethical framework:
innovations + ethics = better globalization.

METHOD
We develop and broadcast innovative ideas through:
