Responsible Development: Pollution and Poverty - how markets can cure the problems that they have created

This book explores the role of the free market system in the widening disparity of incomes, as well as the depletion of the environment. It investigates how market innovation can cure the problems of disparity and depletion by adopting new metaphors from evolutionary biology. It explains how the forces of environmental justice and social justice are conspiring to reorganize the market to produce better social outcomes, by including normative values into the utilitarian traditions. This book applauds the role of social entrepreneurship in tweaking the market to make the common good both satisfying, and profitable.
