Summary: Economy and Ecology in Harmony
Review: Enviro-Capitalists is a must-read for anybody interested in both business and the environment. Anderson and Leal give plenty of examples to back up their thesis that economy and ecology can produce positive synergies. 'Doing good while doing well' has been an inspiration to me.---Ben Harkema

Summary: "A capital idea & great book" by RexCurry.net
Review: Excellent ideas and well executed. The Enviro-Capitalist message: The best environment is a capitalist environment. If you hear that all libertarians want to "sail the seas," listen again because you probably heard the maxim that all libertarians want to "sell the seas." Libertarian environmentalists use the following phrases in a sincere positive manner: sell the oceans, sell the seas, sell the gulf, sell the lakes, sell the rivers, sell the parks, sell the Everglades. As a contender for the honorific title of "Top Libertarian Environmentalist," I spend a lot of time writing about libertarian environmentalism and how to speak to environmentalists. There is a lot of material available on the internet from that point of view, and this book provides superb help, too. "We love manatee!" Libertarians quip, "They taste just like chicken." But the reasoning of free market environmentalism shines. Cuba, eastern Europe, the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, The Peoples' Republic of China and other socialist messes have demonstrated that the Malthusian theory is manifested only in socialist economies. The book gives many insights as to why, and as to why enviro-capitalism rocks! As the free market environmentalist Rex Curry said "Socialism is an environmental disaster." Enviro-capitalists explain why the color of a healthy environment and the color of money are the same. Mother Nature is a capitalist. Capitalists are the true greens.

Summary: Faith based enviromentalism.
Review: This is a faith based environmentalism - that is you must believe in the 'idea' of the free market for it to work. And sorry to say, that faith has been tested and found wanting. Just in the past few years - nay decades - we have seen various ways in which the 'free market' has been co-opted and corrupted - from the S&L scandal. energy de-reg, to the various post-bubble stock market scandals. And now the authors want to place our natural resources into the hands of the free market?
No thank you sirs.
Better laws and total reviews of suspect agencies like the BLM and Army Corp. than this so called 'free market.'
