Salvation or Commodification? The Role of Money and Markets in Global Ecological Preservation

Ann E. Davis

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2019, vol. 51, issue 4, 536-543

Abstract: Rather than view the market as a tool for addressing climate change, through carbon tax or carbon permits, we argue that redefining “property†is more effective. Instead of right to exclude and absolute individual ownershp, we recommend ecological communities which prioritize human relationships and ecological stewardship. Global federations of ecological regions will manage nutrient flows on the local and global level, with democratic participation informed by ecological science. New values of caring for the earth will support and sustain new forms of solidarity. JEL Classification: B5, Q5
