The Philosophy of Individualist Environmentalism

The Federalist Society Speaker Series 1/27/09
Tibor Machan

Issues:
Why is a collectivist, anti-market stance environmentally wrong?

How do we address the central human problem with the environment: the tragedy of the commons?

How would only a philosophy of individualism provide the
foundation for solving that problem?

Why must we avoid utopianism?

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Improvements?

With any organization, improvements need to be made as we learn about what works and what does not work as well. Feel free to let us know your thoughts on how we can improve as an organization.
