As part of the Montana Ethic Project, PERC senior fellow Terry Anderson explains how his Montana roots led to the development of free market environmentalism, which is about finding a way to respect one another’s rights and then cooperate. This means relying more on individual decision making, on property rights, and on people engaging in trade.
By replacing conflict with cooperation, free market environmentalism can help us work together for a Montana we can all be proud of and allow us to go into the future as the Treasure State and Big Sky Country all at one time.
The Montana Ethic Project is an online video series exploring the Montana Ethic. Created by PERC alum Zack Rogala, and featuring 34 presentations from leaders in business, academia, policy, and politics, the video series lives at Last Best News.
