Water Capitalism

The Case for Privatizing Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Aquifers

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Water Capitalism proposes the privatization of all bodies of water, because those who own resources husband their assets far more carefully than do bureaucrats who have no real stake in the environment. The idea that an all-powerful state should, or could, care for the physical liquid environs of the world is shown to be incorrect and immoral.
