What sorts of countries cut down all their trees?
What sorts of countries pollute their air?
What sorts of countries wantonly kill their animals?
There is a lot of variation but on an average there is this underlying theme countries that
are more economically free tend to protect their environments.
Countries that are less economically free tend to despoil their environments and this
isn't a rich country poor country thing.
Even amongst the poor countries those that are more economically free tend to protect
their environments more so than the poor countries that are less economically free.
I am Antony Davies Professor of Economics at Duquesne University.
I and many other professors work with Learn Liberty asking questions like what is it we
can do to help make our world a better place?
How is it that we can institute rules that help to protect the environment and time and
again we come back to the same answer 'economic freedom'; more so than any other tool that
humans have ever employed economic freedom on average tends to be the tool that best
protects the environment.
Join me and many other professors as we ask this question and many other questions about
what it is that can help make our world a better place.
Give us 3 minutes of your time and an open mind.
We will rock your world.
