The Earth Charter: A Reply

Deirdre N. McCloskey

Eastern Economic Journal, 2003, vol. 29, issue 3, pages 473-474

Abstract: What I intended to accomplish in my little squib on the Earth Charter was only to shake the confidence of environmentalists that everything the most radical amongst them believe is not obviously true. As Oliver Cromwell said to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1650, and as Professor England and I wish our readers and students would hear: "I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken." I think Professor England would join me in that purpose.
