fair trade: Encyclopedia II - Environmental economics - Topics and concepts

Central to environmental economics is the concept of an externality. This means that some effects of an activity are not taken into account in its price. For instance pollution in excess of the socially "optimal" level may occur if the prices a producer pays do not include the impacts (costs) experienced by those adversely affected by the pollution. Too little nature conservation may occur if those who undertake such activities are not rewarded in relation to the increase in the quali ...

The book goes further by envisioning a world where natural services are considered on par with physical capital. Another context in which externalities apply is when globalization permits one player in a market who is unconcerned with biodiversity to undercut prices of another who is - creating a "race to the bottom" in regulations and conservation. This in turn may cause loss of natural capital with consequent erosion, water purity p ...

fair trade: Encyclopedia II - Anarchist economics - Economics as Anarchist Strategy

Some anarchists believe that it is not radical political activity that will transform society, but radical economic activity that will make true change.

Anarchists believe that changing the nature of work itself is the crux of defeating capitalism.
