Sierra Loses One
Posted by Jonathan H. Adler  ·   2 November 2005  ·  Environmental Economics

After publishing this uninformed critique of economic thinking in Sierra magazine, it seems that the Sierra Club lost Jason Scorse as a member. Scorse explains his decision here. I agree with many of his points, other than his suggesting that RFK Jr. understands anything about economics, for reasons I've explained here.

  1. I think some of your criticisms of Kennedy are justified, but at least in the speeches I cite he did express views that I think are consistent with common sense and an appreciation for the power of markets. Seems like he's not too consistent,however, but since simply getting rid of all the perverse subsidies in our economy would go such a long way to improving our environment I'm glad that he stresses that.
