Managing these properties is expensive & contentious, & few management decisions escape criticism. Some observers, however, argue that such criticism is largely misdirected. The fundamental problem, in their view, is collective ownership & its solution is privatization. A free market, they claim, directs privately owned resources to their most productive uses, & privatizing public lands would create a free market in their services. This timely study critically examines these issues, arguing that there is no sense of 'productivity' for which it is true that greater productivity is both desirable & a likely consequence of privatizing public lands or 'marketizing' their management. 410 0$aEnvironmental ethics and science policy. 606 $aPublic lands$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aPrivatization$zUnited States 615 0$aPublic lands$xManagement. 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a333.1/6 700 $aLehmann$b Scott$01530226 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778897603321 996 $aPrivatizing public lands$93775124 997 $aUNINA
