The environmentalists have won: we all agree that we should be green. Now it\’s the revenge of the economists: how should we be green?
…..
This is no knee-jerk, reactionary counterblast that denies we need to be environmentally conscious, but rather a compelling and utterly necessary plea to examine our environmental activities with due accuracy and thought.
The popular and globally esteemed science writer and columnist, Matt Ridley, has called this book: ‘Fearless, fresh, forensic and funny’, while Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist, says: ‘Jaw-droppingly rude he may be, but he’s smart, and this book is quite an education.’
Be there or be square as they say.
I think you meant to say “the successful and economically literate FTSE100 corporate chairman Matt Ridley”, no?
Will there be copies of the book for sale there?
Tim adds: Good question to which I don’t know the answer. You can already pre order on Amazon……
Well, I might manage to drag myself along…
DK
Maybe, if I can be bothered to wake up that day
Well I’ve already pre-ordered the book (and paid for it), so can I come along for the freebie drinkie?
Apart from the fact that I don’t accept that the eco-loons have won – the wheels are coming off their bandwagon, both across the scientific community and in the public perception, faster than you can say Obama Mid-Term Meltdown.
I’ll do my best to be there, provided work doesn’t send me away.
Drinkies after, anyone?
Tim adds: Of course!
I find I am watching television that evening (as Peter Cook said when David Frost invited him to dine with Margaret and Snowdon).
Although I’d actually love to come; just a bit of a trek from Scotland
Unfortunately, I can’t make it: it is the opening night of the play wot I am starrin’ in that night…
Buggeration!
DK
“Be there or be square as they say”: nostalgic, eh?
I’ll wait for the World tour.
Excellent; look forward to meeting you.
good luck with it Tim. Can’t make it myself.
[of course I anticipate disagreeing what half of what you’ve written].
On Friday I will go down to Kinokuniya at the Dubai Mall to order my copy. Can’t make it for the talk, or the talk and the drinks, but break a leg.
