John Isaacs and Tom Schelling on Nuke Reductions

Yesterday afternoon, Council Executive Director John Isaacs appeared on Seattle NPR alongside Los Angeles Times reporter Paul Richter and Nobel Prize-winning economist Thomas Schelling to discuss nuclear reductions and the idea of a nuclear weapons free world.

Click here for the audio. Listen to the nuclear weapons segment beginning at 14:10, and John at 26:18.

Isaacs spoke about the need for nuclear reductions and the longer-term goal of eliminating nuclear weapons, and Schelling’s talk echoed arguments in his piece, “A World Without Nuclear Weapons?” from 2009 in Daedalus, which was featured in the New York Times’ blog on Tuesday.    

Click here to read the two-part commentary on Schelling’s article from Nukes of Hazard, the blog of our sister organization and research center, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
