“Goals”-more broad ideals than specific objectives

• Liberty

• Security

• Equity

• Efficiency (Note: Stone argues that, by the way it is understood in the market, “efficiency” rises above criticism)

• Nature of political debate:

– Competition among these ideals

– Competing interpre-tations of what a particular ideal means in a given situation

– All interpretations of each ideal are contestable

Analyze alternative “framings” of the global warming issue: 1. Reduce human-made CO2 omission 2. Reduce environmental vulnerability

*How are various goals interpreted in each?*What (if any) goal trade-offs are implicit in either?

*How (if at all) do goal interpretations, trade-offs change from Frame 1 to Frame 2?

[need to focus on the ideology of “market efficiency” as a framing strategy]—resulting in questions like:

• Can you find evidence of this market efficiency ideology in how the global warming issue is framed?

• Do market efficiency values clarify or obscure the issue of environmental vulnerability?

• Do market efficiency values clarify or obscure questions about who is accountable for policy problems?...any evidence in the global warming reading?

• Compare Stone’s treatment of “market efficiency” as a (politically potent) framing strategy with (most) economists’ rational viewpoints about the role of the market in society.
