Newsweek Hails Cap-and-Dividend as “Truly Transformative”

The latest issue of Newsweek champions Peter Barnes as one of “four thinkers whose philosophies seem to have captured the intellectual moment.”

In its special end-of-the-year/end-of-Bush-Era issue on “the Global Elite,” the newsweekly cites four ideas they view as “transformative.” In addition to On the Commons co-founder Peter Barnes’ commons-based solution to global warming, Cap-and-Dividend, Newsweek hails Nobel Laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz, Harvard legal scholar Cass Sunstein, and genetics researcher Dr. George Church.
