ABSTRACT
In Professor Jacques Garello’s long and fruitful effort to stimulate studies related to liberty, the analysis of free market environmentalism and its different implications has played a relevant role. In fact, my first personal contact with Professor Garello took place as the result of a seminar on this subject which he organized in Aix-en-Provence in September 1985, to which the present author had the honour of being invited.2 Therefore, perhaps one of the best homages which may be rendered to Professor Garello is to summarize and re-evaluate, from today’s standpoint, more than ten years after that seminar, the main items and implications of the modern theory of free market environmentalism.
