| Summary: | Climate Liberalism examines the extent to which the classical liberal intellectual tradition, and its emphasis on property rights, competitive markets and decentralized authority, can and should inform the development of and debate over pollution control and climate change policies. Contributors approach the topic from a range of perspectives and represent multiple academic disciplines. Chapters consider the role of property rights and common-law legal systems in controlling pollution, the extent to which competitive markets backed by legal rules encourage risk minimization and adaptation, and how to identify the sorts of policy interventions that may help address climate change in ways that are consistent with liberal values. |
