Summary: Very Interesting!
Comment: Most people don't think economics is very interesting. In fact, they tend to think of economics as dry and boring. Professor Stroup has written a book that should reverse that thinking. He has taken his analytical skills as an economist and shown how the basic principles of that discipline are imperialistically invasive; that is, they can easily be applied to a broad range of topics, including the environment.
If you want to understand why some people, especially many economists, consider environmentalists to be somewhat hypocritical, this is the book to read. If you want to understand how and why even environmentalists can be at odds with one another, this is the book to read. If you want to see why economists enjoy practicing their discipline, this is the book to buy. It is not a long book, so if you want a quick lesson in basic economic principles couched in terms of an issue that should be of interest to most people, read this book. If you don?t like the book, donate your copy to a local library. I'm sure a lot of other folks in your community will find it interesting.
