From the Paper:

"Environmental Planning: The theories of Robyn Eckersley and how the ideas of Alexander and Anderson can save the environment (maybe) The following paper will examine the theories of Robyn Eckersley - as presented in our course materials - by considering how two of the theories he discusses, Environmental Economics and Free Market Environmentalism, are viewed by Robert Alexander and Terry Anderson as keys to not only explaining environmental depredation but as intellectual constructs which offer some hopeful alternatives and tentative solutions for the future. Over the next several pages, we will look carefully at the work of Alexander and Anderson as well as a New York Times article which adumbrates the good and the bad of an environmental policy rooted in strong private property rights, financial incentives, and rational self-interest (all things Anderson and Alexander appear to believe in)."
