The Philippines has a garbage problem that the world can see. Tons of our plastic waste continue to end up in the ocean. What lies ahead, however, is not only an environmental problem but also a trade problem.

BasisPointInsight.com - Inflation Targeting Needs Flexibility, Not Unanimity by Ashima Goyal When monetary consensus turns to groupthink, inflation targeting risks losing its flexibility—and its purpose. by Ashima Goyal, BasisPointInsight.com

4 months ago

2/3 In an economy driven by supply shocks, rigidity can turn monetary consensus into groupthink. India doesn’t need to abandon inflation targeting—just adapt it to its own realities so stability doesn’t come at the cost of momentum.

This essay critically examines Andrew Knight’s celebratory blog post on the UK Civil Service’s policy design pavilion at the London Design Biennale, exposing underlying issues of epistemic gatekeeping, performative openness, and insufficient fiduciary accountability. While Knight frames the event as a demonstration of democratic participation and transparency through public engagement, closer analysis reveals superficial inclusivity and curated epistemic control. Drawing from my recent scholarship—specifically ‘Epistemic Gatekeepers and Epistemic Injustice by Design’ (2025) and ‘Directors’ Epistemic Duties and Fiduciary Openness’ (2025)—I argue that without transparent epistemic criteria, clear accountability mechanisms, and authentic democratic co-creation, such policy initiatives risk becoming mere spectacles rather than meaningful democratic exercises. To address these shortcomings, the essay proposes explicit solutions, including epistemic transparency, structured accountability frameworks, critical reflexivity, and genuine epistemic pluralism, offering a blueprint for achieving authentic democratic legitimacy in government policy design. Keywords epistemic justice, epistemic gatekeeping, fiduciary openness, democratic accountability, performative openness, policy design, public participation, epistemic transparency, critical reflexivity, democratic epistemology, co-creation, institutional accountability, epistemic pluralism, UK Civil Service, institutional reform, governance ethics, public sector innovation, knowledge equity, transparency, design thinking

My new essay critically analyses the UK Civil Service’s recent policy design pavilion, exposing performative openness and epistemic gatekeeping. Proposing solutions for genuine democratic accountability.

"Future Design": an innovative approach to decision-making In Japan, citizens "from the future" participate in decision-making. What lessons could this model have for the UN Envoy on Future Generations?

Futurability is our capacity for long-term thinking. It is our innate capacity to find joy and fulfillment in sacrificing immediate benefits for the happiness of future generations. Future Design is more than a tool for shaping the future. #FutureDesign #UN #policydesign
