Our work explains how economic incentives, secure property rights, the rule of law, and responsible prosperity can foster a healthy environment.

While FREE's conferences are explicitly pro-environment, they explain why ecological values are not the only important ones. We stress that trade-offs among competing values are inescapable, and show why it is ethically and materially irresponsible to pretend such choices can be avoided. Visit FREE. |
