ABSTRACT
The three chapters in the final part share a concern with what it means for liberty to be the daughter of knowledge when the sources of knowledge are strongly differentiated and asymmetrically available to the relevant agents. Myanna Lahsen addresses the issue in stark contemporary empirical terms: Is there any hope for resolution in the political disputes over global climate change when so much of the relevant knowledge is produced in a free market environment — especially by large corporate sponsors that can easily justify their default operating procedures by highlighting the uncertainty of climate change models?
