Charles F. Sabel and David G. Victor propose an experimentalist system of governance and incentives for the incremental but cumulatively transformative redirection of the economy and democracy that allows us to construct a sustainable alternative in their book, Fixing the Climate.
Experimentalism is thus suited to the long and fraught transition from a world that has become unworkable to a more sustainable one. Whether redirection of the trajectory of the climate can be made consensual by subjecting it to widely inclusive and democratic control is addressed in this talk.
Charles F. Sabel, Maurice T. Moore Professor of Law, Columbia University, and David G. Victor, Professor of Innovation and Public Policy, School of Global Policy and Strategy, UC San Diego, are in conversation with Inês M.L. Azevedo, Associate Professor in the Department of Energy Science & Engineering, Stanford University (moderator) for the 2023-24 Wesson Lecture on Problems of Democracy.
Each year the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society brings to Stanford a notable scholar to deliver a set of lectures, endowed by the late Robert Wesson, a political scientist and Hoover Institute Fellow, pertaining to problems in democratic theory and practice. Dr. Wesson hoped that these lectures would help students, scholars, and community members think through important public issues related to democratic governance.

Experimentalism is thus suited to the long and fraught transition from a world that has become unworkable to a more sustainable one. Evidence is mounting that deliberate redirection of the trajectory of development is achievable. Whether this redirection can be made consensual by subjecting it to widely inclusive and democratic control is an open question that will be addressed in this talk.
