Environmentalists and Economists: Common Ground?
Tomorrow night, Mike Hammock and I are leading a "High Table" discussion for Rhodes first-year students on the relationship between environmentalism and economics. Here's what we're asking them to read or watch:
1. Part 6 of The Economics of Public Issues, 14th Edition
2. This WSJ article about disposable chopsticks in China.
3. James Hamilton's link to a NASA photo of Chinese air pollution (HT: Brad Delong)
4. Arnold Kling's post on "Dogs and the Environment" (HT: Russell Roberts, Tyler Cowen)
5. Al Gore's TED Talk on climate change
6. Bjorn Lomborg's TED Talk on the Copenhagen Consensus
7. David Deutsch's TED Talk on how we are equipped to solve problems
Suggestions?
