Description:
In an era of market triumphalism, this book probes the social and environmental consequences of market-linked nature conservation schemes. Rather than supporting a new antimarket orthodoxy, Charles Zerner and colleagues assert that there is no universal entity, "the market". Analysis and remedies must be based on broader considerations of history, culture, and geography in order to establish meaningful and lasting changes in policy and practice.
