Let the People Judge: Wise Use And The Private Property Rights Movement

John Echeverria, Ray Eby

Island Press, Mar 1, 1995 - Law - 381 pages

"One of the most serious challenges to environmentalism that has emerged in the 1990s is the so-called Wise Use movement. While operating under the guise of an independent movement of small landowners, it is in reality a backlash against environmental protection measures, funded and organized by corporations with a vested interest in preventing further environmental gains. Let the People Judge collects the writings of a wide range of thinkers on the Wise Use movement and the controversies that fuel the Wise Use debate.
