Environmentalists Need to Understand the Main Tenets of Economics

When I hired Aedan Kernan of Norwich, England to do a writing project for me a year or so back, I knew I’d get a great result – but I was pleasantly surprised when I made a friend as well. Aedan is a terrific human being, and next time I’m in the UK, a trip out to see him and his wife will most definitely be a part of my travel plans.

Aedan just sent me this wonderful lecture – coincidentally from my neck of the woods – the Monterey Institute. In it, Dr. Jason Scorse, Chair of the International Economic Policy Program, discusses the need for environmentalists to understand the main tenets of economics, and to use them aggressively in our discourse.

It’s only 24 minutes long. Do yourself a favor.
