Description
Arguing that Americans should turn to private entrepreneurs rather than the federal government to guarantee the protection and improvement of environmental quality, the authors document numerous examples of how entrepreneurs have satisfied the growing demand for environmental quality. Beginning with historical cases from the turn of the century, they illuminate the benefits of entrepreneurial participation in wildlife preservation, aquatic habitat production, and environmentally friendly housing development. As government budgets shrink and more people question the efficacy of government regulations, Enviro-Capitalists offers alternatives to traditional thinking about the environment. While the book does not claim that the private sector can provide solutions to all environmental problems, it offers innovative ideas that will cultivate and encourage environmental entrepreneurship.

Reviews
-
A useful addition to the debate about protecting nature and making money.
Andrew Dobson, Environmental Values
-
Those who erroneously cling to the idea that capitalism is inherently destructive to the environment will find their prejudices strongly challenged. This collection of stories about real people and their profit-making ventures in environmental production reminds us again that capitalism works. . . .Enviro-Capitalists should be read both by environmentalists and friends of liberty.
Bruce Yandle, Clemson University, The Freeman/Ideas On Liberty
-
This is a must reading for those conservationists and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to a renewed, productive and sustainable environment.
John F. Cameron, Atlantic Salmon Federation
