PERC’s Policy Director, Hannah Downey, sits down with Gabriella Hoffman of the District of Conservation podcast to discuss free market environmentalism. Government is often thought of as the sole arbitrator of any and all environmental issues. However, the market offers innovative answers to our environmental challenges and invokes collaborative solutions. By incentivizing compromise and inspiring ingenuity, free market environmentalism can generate good environmental outcomes that leave all parties (wildlife and human alike) better off.
