September 3, 2018 at 7:41 amPete’s a great guest and I love his insights into economics. On “environment and sustainability,” however, he — like Russ Roberts — confuse the potential for market solutions with the problem of managing non-excludable goods (such as the environment), which are — by their nature — difficult to possess, price and thus “provide” via market forces. This mistake is common for economists, as non-excludable goods are best managed via communal (peer-to-peer) or government (top down) forces, unlike markets that work from the bottom up.
In this old post (http://www.env-econ.net/2008/05/was-julian-simo.html), I point out that the Simon/Ehrlich bet was about these two different types of good, i.e., that they were talking past each other.
I’m looking forward to hearing from Ehrlich.
