Re: Green Economics?

Honestly, I have to say that many people, even greens within themselves, have different views. Some greens think that capitalism is okay, while others think we need to overhaul to a social or even communist economy. Now, although I am a green myself, I think that atleast a semi-free market can be maintained. Big business tycoons and manufacturing industries don't recognize the importance of preserving growth of trees and so on, in which case, the government usually puts regulations into place... that is, if the government supports green ideology, environmentally wise. Now, some greens take it way too far and think, Capitalism promotes dirty industry, and there can be none of that... at all. That is how the socialist/coomunist idea arises. Promote agriculture and so on. Although agriculture is a 'clean and green' industry, most greens believe that manufacturing is okay, as along as there are certain 'rules' to abide by that keep our environment healthy, such as limiting wastely practices. (I know... rules and regulations... it all sounds a bit liberal, eh.)
