DESCRIPTION:---------------------------------------------------------\n\nS
 hort-term considerations and a focus primarily on economic factors and ret
 urns dominate public policy-making. This carries major consequences for th
 e potential misallocation of society’s resources. But it also leaves a d
 eficit in terms of transparency and accountability. This seminar will look
  into the consequences for policy-making of taking a broader view of value
 \, which considers social\, economic and environmental factors with equal 
 weight and across the longer-term. What are the barriers to policy-makers 
 adopting such an approach and can these be overcome?\n\n------------------
