Are free markets and environmental protection compatible? Is it possible to protect environmental resources without resorting to extensive command-and-control regulation? Ecology, Liberty & Property: A Free Market Environmental Reader answers a resounding yes. The market institutions of private property, voluntary exchange, common law liability standards, and the rule of law are powerful medicine for environmental ills. Greater reliance on these institutions can address environmental concerns while preserving individual liberty. The essays herein, drawn from over fifteen years of CEI’s environmental analysis and policy research, explain the free market approach to environmental concerns in both theory and practice. The topics covered range from solid waste and wildlife conservation to industrial pollution and biotechnology.
