Free market environmentalism [ edit ]
Free market environmentalism is a theory that argues that the free market, property rights, and tort law provide the best tools to preserve the health and sustainability of the environment. This is in sharp contrast to the most common approach of looking to legislative government intervention to prevent destruction of the environment. It considers environmental stewardship to be natural, as well as the expulsion of pollutors and other aggressors through individual and class action.
If you’re an environmentalist who also believes in free trade, then this approach to environmentalism may be something you can get behind. The concept came from a book of the same name “free market environmentalism” published in 1991. The emphasis of the book is that free markets can protect the planet better than governmental regulation by using property rights and tort law to encourage corporations to absorb production costs and conserve resources. However, many people are critical of this approach, mainly those who see free markets as the problem, not a solution. They say the concept is dependent on legislators having enough information to regulate industries, know who has the rights to specific properties to use its resources and be able to apply social taxes to those who pollute the resources fairly.
