Summary

In 1991, Terry Anderson and Donald Leal set forth a new path for environmentalism - one which stressed how property rights and markets could help overcome policy and legal shortcomings, providing real-world solutions for impending environmental concerns. In this follow-up volume, the authors are joined with emerging environmentalists to outline further means for free markets to promote environmental solutions for problems ranging from alternative energy sources, rehabilitating fisheries, improving clean water efforts, and setting forth new horizons for "enviropreneurs."

Anderson and Leal expand upon their novel approaches to environmentalism, providing brand-new content for a new generation of thought - and most importantly - for a new period of environmental action.

Donald R. Leal joined PERC (Property and Environment Research Center) in 1985 where he directed research until he retired in 2012 and became a Senior Fellow Emeritus. Leal's research focused primarily on comparing state and federal forest management, and on market-based solutions for preventing overharvesting of marine resources and restoring ocean fisheries.
