What is a free enterprise system?
What Is a Free Enterprise System? The Most Misunderstood Engine of Prosperity Walk through any American city and you will see evidence of free enterprise everywhere, though most people rarely stop to think about it. The coffee shop on the corner. The contractor renovating a neighborhood home. The software company operating out of a converted warehouse. The family-owned restaurant competing...

What is free enterprise?
What Is Free Enterprise? The Most Misunderstood Engine in the World Mention the phrase “free enterprise” at a dinner party and watch what happens. Someone will call it capitalism. Someone else will call it greed. A third person will say it’s the reason innovation exists. Before long, the conversation drifts into politics, personalities, and ideology. That’s...

Can sustainability and profit work together?
Can Sustainability and Profit Work Together? The Argument Everyone Gets Wrong Walk into any boardroom and bring up sustainability, and you'll still find two camps. One side sees it as a moral obligation. The other sees it as an expense. That's where the conversation usually falls apart. Because the real question isn't whether sustainability costs money. Of course it does. Every serious...

Who should pay for environmental damage?
Who Should Pay for Environmental Damage? The Bill Is Coming Due A few years ago, I sat in a boardroom listening to a heated discussion about a manufacturing expansion. The numbers were attractive. Revenue projections looked strong. Jobs would be created. Investors would be happy. Then someone raised a question that changed the tone of the room. What would happen if the project contaminated...

How do we grow economically without destroying the environment?
How Do We Grow Economically Without Destroying the Environment? The False Choice That Keeps Showing Up Every few years, somebody stands up and tells us we have to choose. We can have economic growth, they say, or we can have a healthy environment. Pick one. I've never bought that argument. Not because environmental challenges aren't real. They are. Anyone looking honestly at rising...

What do environmental economists study?
What Do Environmental Economists Study? The first time I watched a river get priced, I felt a peculiar nausea. Not because the math was wrong. The equations were elegant. The economists at the meeting were sharp, meticulous, almost surgical in the way they translated a watershed into projected agricultural yield, municipal savings, downstream flood mitigation, and avoided treatment costs....

What skills are needed for environmental economics?
What Skills Are Needed for Environmental Economics? A forest does not calculate the cost of its own extinction. A river does not invoice a refinery. The atmosphere, despite serving as humanity’s open sewer for two centuries, has never mailed a bill. Yet eventually, somewhere between drought maps and insurance losses, between collapsing fisheries and rising municipal debt, someone must...

Is environmental economics a good field?
Is Environmental Economics a Good Field? There is a moment, quiet and almost embarrassing in its simplicity, when a person realizes the economy is not separate from the Earth. It happens in strange places. A dry reservoir. A grocery receipt. A wildfire smoke alert arriving before breakfast. A fishing village where the boats remain tied because the water has warmed three degrees and the fish...

What careers exist in environmental economics?
What Careers Exist in Environmental Economics? A river does not submit invoices. A forest does not issue receipts. The atmosphere, despite carrying the exhalations of eight billion people and the ash of entire civilizations, remains unpaid. Yet every economy on Earth is nested inside these living systems as surely as lungs sit inside a chest. Environmental economics emerged from that...

What is the economic impact of global warming?
What Is the Economic Impact of Global Warming? The first thing to disappear is not the glacier. It is the predictability. People imagine climate change as a cinematic event: oceans climbing seawalls, forests combusting in orange weather, polar bears adrift on fractured ice. Those things are real. Yet economies do not collapse in one dramatic gesture. They fray. Quietly at first. A delayed...
